Accolade recognizes top tech startup companies

July 6, 2010 – Copanion, Inc., the leader in paperless tax workflow technology, announced today that it was selected for the 2010 Red Herring 100 North America award. Red Herring recognizes private companies that are clear leaders in providing innovative technologies across their respective industries.

“We were very excited and honored to be recognized as a Red Herring Top 100,” stated Ed Jennings, Copanion CEO. “This award is further testament to Copanion’s dedication to providing powerful, market-leading solutions. We continue to enhance our systems to alleviate common issues and pain points for our client base.”

Red Herring’s Top 100 North America list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Copanion was selected over hundreds of other candidates across North America based on technological innovation, strength of management, and customer and financial health.“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 Copanion embodies the vision, drive, and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Copanion 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. This allows 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. Past winners of the Red Herring 100 award include Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo!, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay
The winners were announced on June 24 at the conclusion of the Red Herring North America 2010 conference in San Diego, California. A complete list of winners can be found at http://www.herringevents.com/RHNA2010/2010winners/2010winners.html.
