WOBURN, Mass., April 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc., creator of the world's most widely used remote connectivity and support services, announced today that it is a Finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 private companies based in North America that play a leading role in innovation and technology.
The Red Herring editorial board diligently surveyed the entrepreneurial scene throughout the North American region and identified the top 200 out of more than 800 closely evaluated companies that are leading the next wave of innovation. LogMeIn is among them.
In less than three years since launching LogMeIn Free -- the first commercially-supported, free, web-based remote access service -- the company has come to dominate the remote access industry with the size of its global user base, and has moved onto the broader challenge of serving connectivity, digital living and the small business computer and device support markets. Recently the company announced it has more than 15 million users worldwide and is growing by 1.5 million more each month.
"Being a finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award speaks to the hard work and dedication of our staff to develop the best technology for remote connectivity and support. We could not be more thrilled," said Michael Simon, CEO, LogMeIn, Inc. "It all comes back to a simple concept -- connecting hard to reach devices, no matter where they are. By perfecting the process by which this happens, we've been able to set ourselves apart as a service and as a company."
"We can see the exciting evolution of the technology sector reflected in the quality and variety of exceptional companies that we had to choose from in putting our list together," said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. "It was tough to choose just 200 finalists from such a large list of excellent contenders, and we are very happy with the qualities of the companies we selected as Finalists."
