"We are thrilled to be selected as one of the Red Herring Top 100 most innovative companies in North America," said Lena Requist, Ontraport's COO. "It is always rewarding to be recognized, especially with such a high caliber group of peers."

Red Herring's Top 100 Americas list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work. 

"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Ontraport embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Ontraport should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."

The contenders were evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment is complemented by a review of the historical performance relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz," focusing the list on the most promising new business models in Americas.
