LiveHive Wins 2014 TiE50 Award

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LiveHive, the sales acceleration solution that offers insight into the success of distributed sales materials, has recently been named a winner of the prestigious 2014 TiE50 awards for its outstanding software. Winners were announced on Saturday, May 16^th, at the organization's annual entrepreneurial conference, TiEcon. TiE, or The Indus Entrepreneurs, honors the top 50 tech start ups every year in multiple categories.

"It's been a fantastic experience to attend and present LiveHive's leading sales engagement analytics at this year's TieCon event," said Ramon Nunez, CEO at LiveHive. "We are truly honored to receive the award and are thrilled to see our sales engagment platform recognized as a top service and start-up."

"In the six short years since inception, the TiE50 program has become a global brand that attracts thousands of companies worldwide for this recognition," said Venktesh Shukla, president of TiE, Silicon Valley. "It is unique in terms of rigor of selection and the broad scope of companies that it reviews for this award and is one of TiE Silicon Valley's most successful programs. It is also worth mentioning that this is the only awards recognition in technology to be held by a large global non-profit organization."

To determine the winner, a panel of experts screened the companies and created a list of the "2014 TiE50 Top Startups." This list was then reviewed further by a screening committee of deep domain experts. About 100 of the best of the breed companies were selected to the elite TiE50 finalist pool. Finally, this pool of TiE50 finalists were judged by a panel of highly accomplished serial entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, CEOs and well-rounded technology experts, to determine finalists and winners. Companies were evaluated on three parameters: Business Model, IP Value and Leadership team.

At TiEcon 2014, 20 of the top startups from each of the five segments were chosen to pitch their ideas, including LiveHive, and winners were announced on stage the evening of May 16^th. This year at the event, attendees and TiE50 participants also had the chance to hear from three previous TiE50 winners who have made successful exits recently: FireEye, Pearl Therapeutics and Rubicon Project.

"This year the TiE50 Awards Program screened more than 2800 companies from 27 countries. The finalist pool is represented by early through late stage companies. A star attraction of the conference is TiE50 finalist presentations. Audiences are treated to great ideas and amazing technologies," said Ram K. Reddy, the program chair.

The TiE50 track record since its inception in May 2009 shows that 94% of the winners and finalists have been funded, attracting billions in investments. Many of these companies have been acquired, merged or gone public.
