Since 1996, leading tech news magazine Red Herring annually reviews thousands of candidates for each of its three Top 100 awards (Asia, Europe and the Americas). The Red Herring Award is widely recognized as one of the industry’s more prestigious awards.
Each year for the past decade, there has been a strong Israeli presence among the companies nominated for the Red Herring Awards. This year, Israel had a strong showing with 19 companies named winners, including OurCrowd and 2 of our portfolio companies!
