Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube and eBay would change the way we live and work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChoosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,\u201d said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. \u201cAfter rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across Europe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Masabi embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Masabi should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mobile commerce market is on the verge of explosive growth with transport ticketing set to lead the way. For many people buying a ticket on their mobile phone will be their first mobile transaction,\u201d said Ben Whitaker, CEO of Masabi.  \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled and honoured to be named a Red Herring Top 100 Winner, and to be recognised as a leading private company in Europe. This award confirms us as one of the game-changing companies in this space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Red Herring\u2019s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the \u201cbuzz\u201d and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Red Herring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Red Herring is a global media company which unites the world\u2019s best high technology innovators, venture investors and business decision makers in a variety of forums: a leading innovation magazine, an online daily technology news service, technology newsletters and major events for technology leaders around the globe.
