Berkeley Design Automation Selected as a Finalist for the "Red Herring
100 North America" Awards
The most
promising technology ventures will be introduced at the Red Herring
Spring 2006 CEO Summit
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — [April 5, 2006] — Red Herring announced that
Berkeley Design Automation has been selected as one of the top 200
contenders for its annual "Red Herring 100 North America" list. Well
over 1,000 privately held technology companies submitted to this year’s
edition of the prestigious award, giving evidence to the invigorated
innovative and entrepreneurial strength of the technology ecosystem. As
one of the finalists, Ravi Subramanian, CEO of Berkeley Design
Automation, will join the exclusive Red Herring Spring 2006 CEO summit,
May 23-25 in Monterey, California, where the technology industry’s
most-innovative CEOs, venture financiers, and corporate strategists
will gather to meet this next wave of disruptive companies.
High-quality
companies
"We can see the resurgence of the tech sector reflected in the quantity
and variety of excellent companies that we had to chose from in putting
our list together,” said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring.
“It was difficult to choose the 200 finalists and we are very happy
with the stellar quality of the companies on this short-list."
Berkeley Design Automation is an innovative electronic design
automation (EDA) company focused on the challenges that come with the
increasing analog/radio frequency (RF) content of today’s semiconductor
products for consumer and networking applications. The company is
delivering breakthrough technology to dramatically improve the design
and verification of analog, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits
(ICs). The company’s first product has been adopted by more than ten of
the world’s leading semiconductor companies.
“We are extremely proud to be selected as a finalist for this
prestigious award”, said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of
Berkeley Design Automation. “This is recognition of our team’s success
to date in delivering innovative solutions for our customers’ toughest
analog/RF IC design and verification problems.”
More than just
buzz
The “Red Herring 100 North America” award is an important part of Red
Herring’s tradition of recognizing new and innovative technology firms
and their entrepreneurial founders. Berkeley Design Automation and the
other nominees were rigidly evaluated on both quantitative and
qualitative criteria such as financial performance, technology
innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and
integration into their ecosystem. This unique assessment of potential
complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a
company allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list an
invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest
business opportunities in the industry.
Bringing
together the best
As part of this tradition to honor innovation and entrepreneurship in
the business of technology, Red Herring will again host “Red Herring
Spring,” a two day invitation-only summit for the CEOs and founders of
the Red Herring 100 winners and finalists in Monterey, California. The
summit's C-level attendees will convene under the theme “The Pursuit of
Disruption” to discuss major trends and opportunities and to explore
partnerships, alliances, investments, and M&A activities. Further
