The Red Herring 100 North America Award has become a coveted mark of distinction, as it is known for its uncanny ability to spot the young companies and entrepreneurs that will go on to become globally recognized leaders in their respective industries.  In fact, 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, work and play.

"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential is 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 AutoVirt embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. AutoVirt 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.

"We are deeply honored to have been named a Red Herring North America 100 Award recipient.  It is indeed humbling to follow in the footsteps of such notable predecessors," said Josh Klein, President and CEO of AutoVirt.  "We look forward to continuing the award's tradition of spotting the visionary companies and technologies that will go on to raise the bar for how to meet specific real world customer requirements."
