LOS ALTOS, Calif. and SURESNES, France - June 7, 2010 - Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data management software, today announced that it has been selected as a Red Herring Top 100 Europe Tech Startup. The Red Herring Top 100 award recognizes the leading private companies from Europe, celebrating the startups' innovations and technologies across their respective industries.
Red Herring's Top 100 Europe list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. 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 Europe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Talend embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Talend should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
"Our selection as a Red Herring Top 100 Europe winner is another clear sign that Talend's open source data management solutions have become a technology standard that is helping organizations of all sizes optimize their processes and improve their bottom line," said Bertrand Diard, co-founder and CEO, Talend. "We will continue to drive our business to maintain an unmatched pace of innovation and track record at delivering high value, cost-optimized solutions to our customers."
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 Europe.
