Wildfire Wins a Spot Among the "Top 50 Startups in the World!"

The TiE50 awards have just been published— and Wildfire has won placement among the "Top 50 Startups in the World!" This is no small feat, either, as every year, hundreds of technology startups from over 13 countries apply to be recognized. This year, 291 finalists were selected, and out of those came the top 50 winners.

This year, 10 of the top 50 companies were in the Internet/social space. Another reason we're so psyched is that we're the only company in our space (social marketing) to win the award! We're all set to receive the award on stage in front of an audience of entrepreneurs, press, and Silicon Valley influencers. It's humbling and gratifying to be recognized as among the best of the best, and by such a huge conference! TiE is a not-for-profit global network of entrepreneurs and professionals and its annual event, TiECon, is the largest professional conference for entrepreneurs!

It's always exciting when other organizations recognize that Wildfire indeed has some "secret sauce," from our founders to our technology, team and customer base. From the TiE50 website:

"TiE50 track record since inception in May 2009 shows that 94% of the winners and finalists have been funded, attracting over $20 Billion in investments! 42 companies have been acquired, merged or went public. TiE50 awards are announced each year at TiEcon, the world’s largest conference for entrepreneurs. Participating technology startups benefit from a vast ecosystem of venture capitalists, angels, and entrepreneurs. Other participant privileges include significant investor exposure, online virtual showcasing and technology and business partnering/networking."
