Berkeley Design Automation Named a Red Herring 100 Winner
Award
Recognizes the 100 Private Technology Firms in North America Driving
the Future of Technology
Santa Clara, CA, — [May 22, 2006] — Berkeley Design Automation Inc., a
provider of innovative silicon analysis tools for analog/RF and
mixed-signal applications, today announced that it has been selected as
a winner of the annual “Red Herring 100 North America” award by Red
Herring magazine. This list of 100 privately held companies in North
America recognizes those that play a leading role in innovating the
technology business. To view the full list, please visit http://www.redherring.com/.
As one of the winners, Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley
Design Automation will present the company at the exclusive Red Herring
Spring 2006 CEO summit, May 23-25 in Monterey, California, where a
select group of 300 technology entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate
developers will gather to be the first to meet this next wave of
disruptive technology companies.
Disruptive
technologies and business plans
“With venture capital flowing again, we’re seeing a lot of innovative
new companies taking on the established players with disruptive
technologies and innovative business plans,” said Joel Dreyfuss,
Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. “The Red Herring 100 North America
companies, among them Berkeley Design Automation, are pushing and
breaking the boundaries of the technology business and we are excited
to report on their success stories.”
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.
"The analog/RF content of ICs is increasing across a variety of
semiconductor markets and the complexity of these circuits often causes
delays in time to volume production," stated Ravi Subramanian,
president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation. "Berkeley Design has
proven that we deliver innovative circuit analysis technology that
enables our customers to realize a dramatic reduction in time to
volume. We are very pleased to be selected a winner of the Red Herring
100 North America award, and proudly accept the acknowledgement by Red
Herring's editorial board of our team's accomplishments."
More than just
buzz
Red Herring’s lists of top private companies are an important part of
the renowned magazine’s tradition of identifying new and innovative
technology firms and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google and eBay were
spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors as some that would
change the way we live and work.
After receiving more than 1,000 submissions and nominations, Red
Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated Berkeley Design
Automation and the other contenders through a careful analysis of
financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of
management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and
development. The Red Herring 100 North America companies are at the
forefront of the technologies that are changing our lives in profound
ways.
Honoring the
best
To honor the Red Herring 100 companies, Red Herring has invited their
CEOs and founders to present at its Red Herring Spring 2006 conference,
a forum for technology’s most exciting companies, and to share their
insights on the future of innovation and the entrepreneurial journey.
Scheduled to take place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Monterey, this
intimate, invitation-only conference will explore “The Pursuit of
Disruption” and how it spawns unexpected opportunities, novel
alliances, and great success stories.
