CrisisResponsePro, Secure, Cloud-Based Crisis Communications Software, Wins 2016 Red Herring Top 100 North America Award
NEW YORK, June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CrisisResponsePro, cloud-based, collaborative software that brings the crisis communications team together and provides tools, templates and resources for efficient and effective response, has been selected as a winner of the Red Herring Top 100 North America awards, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures based in North America.
Red Herring announced its Top 100 North America award winners last week at an event in Newport Beach, California. The award recognizes the startups' innovation and vision across their respective industries.
Red Herring Top 100 America selects its award winners from approximately 1,200 privately financed companies each year in the US and Canada. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, Palo Alto Networks and eBay would change the way we live and work.
Red Herring has been selecting the most exciting and promising start-ups since 1996.
Jim Haggerty, founder and CEO of CrisisResponsePro, said: "We are honored to have been selected as a Red Herring award winner. CrisisResponsePro is a simple, intuitive platform that makes all members of the crisis communications team better at when they do. Like a Bloomberg Terminal for crisis communications, CrisisResponsePro ensures organizations and their legal and PR advisors can collaborate at the speed of the modern crisis, with tools, resources and secure cloud-based storage that puts crisis communications response at your fingertips."
"In 2016, selecting the top achievers was extremely difficult," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "The variety, depth, disruption and traction we saw from the early stage companies to those with significant scale made it one of the toughest vintages to judge. The North America winners are representative of the amazing ecosystem that never ceases to astound, with new and experienced entrepreneurs continuing to push the barriers of innovation. As one of the winners, CrisisResponsePro should be proud of its accomplishment under such strong competition."
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technological innovation and intellectual property, DNA of the founders, business model, customer footprint and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector 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 in North America.
