It's with great excitement that AlwaysOn announces the second annual Venture Summit Mid-Atlantic 100 top private companies. The VSMA100 represents the best emerging companies from the mid-Atlantic region. This year's list is particularly dynamic, as the amazing growth that's being experienced all over the Global Silicon Valley is bringing a new surge of innovation to the mid-Atlantic region.
The AlwaysOn editorial team, along with partners at Morgan Stanley, Duane Morris, SAP, Flybridge Venture Capital, Sequoia Capital, BlueRun Ventures, KPMG, Greycroft, and Canaan Partners, as well as industry experts across the globe, surveyed the entrepreneurial community to identify the top 100 private companies that are challenging entrenched players and creating new, vital solutions that will lead to industry disruption and huge value-creation opportunities in the mid-Atlantic region.
During the past 18 months, the convergence of on-demand, cloud, and SaaS services with a robust mobile environment is opening up opportunities in every sector. This new arena of third-party technology startups is letting entrepreneurs bring ideas to fruition that would not have been possible a mere three years ago. And consumers as well as their B2B counterparts are clamoring for more apps, more functionality, and more mobility.
One of the break-out sectors in the mid-Atlantic region is the abundance of excellent apps being released for long-established, entrenched legacy institutions, namely life sciences, healthcare services, and security services. This year's Venture Summit Mid-Atlantic 100 adds the life sciences and healthcare services category with a group of fast-paced, nimble players that aren't just reinventing healthcare technology, they are zooming into the future. This year's winners are providing technology products and services for everything from payment management to consumer health services to SaaS technology designed for drug research, clinical trials, and disease research.
As the mobile craze finally takes hold for good in the U.S., mobile apps are now hosting enterprise as well as consumer apps, making the smartphone one of the most connected and necessary devices in the world. The next few years will see the ramp-up of tablet technology on an impressive and global scale, hinting that the desktop PC might just be a legacy itself.
The Venture Summit Mid-Atlantic 100 winners were selected from among thousands of regional technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2011 list. Companies were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
Congratulations to all the 2011 Venture Summit Mid-Atlantic 100 winners. As the top venture capital-backed companies continue to disrupt the technology worlds, they're joining forces with the big players and pioneering new applications and solutions to today's need for a connected world. These 100 mid-Atlantic companies are representative of an up-and-coming entrepreneurial community that is providing the platforms and services needed to re-invent legacy industries and push these innovations into a nimble, prosperous, and connected future.
The winners of this competition will be officially honored at:
