The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across North America.

"This year was very rewarding," said Alex Vieux, publisher and chairman of Red Herring. "There are so many great companies producing truly innovative and amazing products and technologies. We had a very difficult time narrowing the field and selecting the Finalists from such a group of future stars. Adaptiva shows great promise, therefore deserves to be on the short list. Now we are faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners."
