SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - June 29, 2010) - uTest, the world's largest software testing marketplace, today announced that it has been selected as a Red Herring 100 North America winner. Red Herring announced its Top 100 award to recognize leading private companies from North America and celebrate these startups' innovations and technologies across their respective industries.
Red Herring's Top 100 North America list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. The Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube and eBay, would change the way we live and work.
"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 North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe uTest embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. uTest should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
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 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.
"uTest's crowdsourcing model is transforming the way companies test and launch their apps," said Doron Reuveni, CEO of uTest. "Through our unique community of 25,000 professional testers from 165 countries, uTest enables companies of all sizes to launch higher quality web and mobile apps, to get to market faster, and to lower their total cost of testing. We are honored to be recognized among Red Herring's list of tech leaders."
