AlwaysOn Unveils the AO100 Winners Honoring the Best in InnovationThe AO100 List Showcases Top Innovative Private Companies Demonstrating Market Traction and the Ability to Disrupt Existing Markets
All innovators in their given technology sectors, each of the AO100 winners demonstrate leadership among their peers in at least two areas: market traction measured by revenue or customer growth, and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. "Led by two of last year’s winners, Google and Salesforce.com, the top private companies of the second generation of the Internet are now coming into focus," notes AlwaysOn Editor, Tony Perkins. “A total of 50 new companies were added to this year’s list including many that are beginning to receive lots of media attention like Skype, Friendster, MySQL and Digital Chocolate.” The premise of the AO100 list occurred from the demand by consumers and businesses requiring new technologies for greater access to the Web and applications that provide more convenience and productivity. This increased demand is creating new opportunities for innovative new companies that are well positioned to bring about a change in the market. According to Padraic Kelly, partner in charge of KPMG 1Start, "Many of these private companies said that they were beating their internal revenue projections for 2004. This may indicate that the IPO calendar for the second half of this year should be strong." Fifty of last year’s AO100 companies have returned to this year’s top company list. Eighteen of last year’s winners have either gone public, are currently in registration for their IPO, or were bought for a profit.
