Salient Federal Solutions Named to Forbes Magazine's America's Most Promising Companies
Editors Select Company to Elite List of Dynamic Privately Held Businesses with Scintillating Growth Prospect
FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Salient Federal Solutions, Inc. (Salient), a leading provider of information technology, engineering and intelligence analytic services to agencies in the intelligence, defense, homeland security and cyber domains, today announces it has been named to Forbes Magazine's 2011 America's Most Promising Companies list.
Salient is among 100 companies, representing a broad range of industry segments, chosen for the distinction. Forbes' list of America's Most Promising Companies features privately held up-and-comers with compelling business models, strong management teams, notable customers, strategic partners and precious investment capital.
Salient was selected based on its market, operational and funding milestones and its remarkable management team.
"We are honored to be a part of such a distinguished and accomplished group of companies," Brad Antle, president and CEO of Salient, says. "As a young organization in a dynamic and ever-challenging market, our dedicated employees have worked with resolve to provide Salient's customers with the expertise and agility to power our growth."
To sharpen its search, Forbes teamed up with CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data firm that tracks investment in high-growth private companies. With $650,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation, CB has developed complex software called Mosaic that mines a myriad online sources (from press releases and social networks to job boards and court filings) to come up with one, algorithmically derived score that measures a private company's health. Forbes married Mosaic's data-crunching with old-fashioned reporting to assemble a list of rising stars with bright growth prospects.
"Sizing up younger, privately held companies is hard: Their fortunes can change very quickly and there's a dearth of public data," says Forbes Executive Editor Brett Nelson. "We took a more comprehensive approach to evaluate their health and potential."
