The Red Herring Top 100 North America event came to a close in Newport Beach last week, as the best and brightest of North American startups were honored.
The two-day conference featured expert speakers discussing topics such as getting funded, exits, and managing growth. In the afternoons, the spotlight shifted to the companies hoping to walk away with an award. The startups were drawn from across the technology spectrum, and represented industries such as security, big data, virtual reality, and cloud computing.
At the end of the event, the awards were handed out to the jubilant and deserving Top 100 winners. The full list of winners can be found here.
