This is a very important placement. The Global 100 is Red Herring’s roll of the top 100 privately held global tech companies; sort of "the Fortune 500 list but for tech", according to Stephen Forte's blog. Our industry looks to this list to see who the next mover and shakers are.

Finalists are selected from the regional recipients or finalists of the Red Herring 100 awards in 2007, 2008, or 2009 from Asia, Europe, and North America. The award is based on their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health.

Congratulations Telerik!

FALAFEL is proud to serve as Telerik's consulting and training arm.
