As our company continues to develop its technology and expand its presence, it’s a positive sign when others are recognizing how we’re growing and enhancing offerings. We had a lot of positive feedback during RSA when our booth visitors saw the awards we’ve won in security technology. This week, we received the great news that Red Herring selected us as a finalist for its Top 100 North America award. This list puts us in excellent company with the year’s most promising private technology ventures from across North America, including GENBAND, Rapid7 and Infinio.
This award has a long history; Red Herring has been selecting promising start-ups and "scale ups" (a phase from which we’ve almost graduated) since 1995. The finalists are evaluated individually from a pool of hundreds of candidates across the continent, spanning markets including security, software and hardware, life sciences, cloud, mobile and more. We were scored based on criteria judging our addressable market size, financing, our proof of concept and our management's expertise, among a handful of other categories.
It reinforces our team’s hard work and dedication to researching new threats and developing new technology when outside individuals and third party reviewers can look at Black Lotus’ standing and see the same exciting solutions and rapidly developing potential that we’ve been seeing from day one.
Already 2014 is proving to be an impressive year. Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring, says, "The finalists list confirms the excellent choices made by entrepreneurs and VCs and the start-ups' solid roots in corporate America, embracing their innovations…[and emphasizing] the United States’ entrepreneurial excellence.”
Black Lotus will be attending the Red Herring North America Forum from May 14 to 16 in Monterey, California to present our company’s strategy, and the top 100 winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on the final night.
