The Top 10 ranking seeks to identify standout green companies with high potential to achieve success. Of the ten companies ranked, Hara is the only SaaS-based enterprise software company, and was selected based on a rigorous process that reviewed amount of capital raised in the past three years; track records of the executive team, managers and investors; and finally, which company offers the best odds for success.

The accompanying Wall Street Journal article acknowledges challenging times for the clean-tech industry as a whole, but also states that the companies attracting investor interest today are "focusing on making existing industries more efficient and sustainable." Successful clean-tech start-ups do this through software and services at "the nexus of information technology and clean technology."

"The recognition of Hara as a top venture-backed company is an affirmation of the business results that our customers achieve through better energy and resource data management." states Dan Leff , CEO, Hara.
