It's with great excitement that we introduce the third annual AlwaysOn East Top 100 private companies. The AOE100 represent the top emerging companies from the East Coast and Europe that are demonstrating significant market traction and pursuing game-changing technologies in on-demand computing, digital media, and greentech. The AlwaysOn editorial team, along with partners at The Blackstone Group, KPMG, (Get from Marc & Chris Houts), and industry experts across the globe, scoured the entrepreneurial community to identify the top 100 private companies that are taking old notions of doing things and forging solutions that will lead to industry shake-up and huge value creation opportunities. "After one examines the companies that are on the AOE100 list that innovation is not only alive and well on the East Coast and in Europe, but it is accelerating in economic power and scope." says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "The companies certainly represent some of the highest growth opportunities in the private company marketplace." The winners of this competition will be officially honored at: Venture Summit East 2010 Where the Big Money Meets the Big Ideas June 21st-23rd, 2010 Harvard Business School Boston, MA Sept 27th-30th, 2010 To see current program, reserve your ticket, or learn more about the Venture Summit East, please click here.
