AlwaysOn 100 Top Private Company Innovators
June 15, 2007
AlwaysOn editors compiled the third annual elite AO100 list with assistance from KPMG's emerging business practice, KPMG VC Practice. Together we surveyed more than 1,000 venture investors, investment bankers, and technology insiders, who nominated more than 900 companies to determine the AO100 winners. All innovators in their given technology sectors, each of the AO100 winners demonstrate leadership among their peers in at least two areas: market traction measured by revenue or customer growth, and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. The nominations were extremely competitive and many great companies will come from those outside of the top 100, but the level of excellence in the top 100 was remarkable. These companies are proving to have significant innovation, substantial customer adoption, large market potential, noticeable buzz and are well on their way to creating tremendous value for their investors.
