Spredfast, the leading independent social marketing software provider, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the 2013 AlwaysOn Global 250 winners.
Inclusion in the AlwaysOn Global 250 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players in the Global Silicon Valley. Companies were evaluated and selected based on a set of five criteria including innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts.
Spredfast and the other AlwaysOn Global 250 winning companies will be honored this evening during AlwaysOn’s 11th annual Innovation Summit at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. This two-day executive gathering highlights the significant economic, political, and commercial trends affecting the global technology industries. The Innovation Summit’s goal is to identify the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments in the global tech industry.
“This year’s AlwaysOn Global 250 is seeing an unprecedented shift from desktop to mobile. Concurrently, innovators in the cloud are making it possible for an entirely new generation of application and software solutions to enter the technology marketplace.
