RedShift Systems Selected as Red Herring 100 Finalist
Award Recognizes the 100 Most Promising Companies
Driving the Future of Technology
Burlington, MA – April 26, 2007—Red Herring today announced that RedShift Systems is a Finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 private companies based in North America that play a leading role in innovation and technology. The Red Herring editorial board diligently surveyed the entrepreneurial scene throughout the North American region and identified the top 200 out of more than 800 closely evaluated companies that are leading the next wave of innovation.
“We can see the exciting evolution of the technology sector reflected in the quality and variety of exceptional companies that we had to choose from in putting our list together," said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. "It was tough to choose just 200 finalists from such a large list of excellent contenders, and we are very happy with the qualities of the companies we selected as Finalists."
“Our selection as one of the top 200 private, innovative technology firms reinforces our commitment to bring affordable optical thermal imaging solutions to applications such as thermography, fire fighting and security/surveillance that previously could not afford to implement this critical technology”, said Stuart Nixdorff, Vice President of Business Development and Co-founder at RedShift. “We will continue to change the dynamics of the infrared marketplace when we begin delivery of our Thermal Light Valve ™ passive optical filters and OpTIC ™ optical thermal imaging camera modules later this year.”
The winning 100 companies will be announced at the Red Herring Spring event. The CEOs of the winners will present their innovative ideas and technologies to an audience of leading entrepreneurs, financiers and corporate strategists at the event in Monterey, California, on May 1-3 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. This year’s Red Herring 100 Spring event marks the 10th anniversary of the Red Herring 100 Awards. In celebration, the event will feature keynote addresses from legendary VC investors and CEOs of leading Internet, information, and communications companies.
