Red Herring's Top 100 Global list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs.

Over the years, Capillary has won many laurels and the Red Herring Global 100 award is yet another recognition of Capillary's growth momentum. The company was recently also named as one of Forbes' 12 Hidden Gems.  

Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models from around the world.

"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 Global to the Top 100 Winners.
