FloCash, a leading Pan African provider of payment services, has been announced winner of the Red Herring Europe award today, recognizing Europe’s leading private companies and celebrating these startups’ innovations and technologies across their respective industries.
“We are thrilled to win the 2015 Red Herring Top 100 Europe award” said Sirak Mussie, CEO of FloCash. “This reinforces the work Flocash has done to build a Pan African payment network that’s extending the reach of global retailers into emerging Africa. We are honoured to be recipient of a special recognition at the Red Herring awards in recognition of our pioneering work in Africa.”
Red Herring’s Top 100 Europe list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring’s 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.
“Selecting startups that show the most potential for disruption and growth is never easy,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “We looked at hundreds and hundreds of candidates from all across the continent, and after much thought and debate, narrowed the list down to the Top 100 Winners. Each year, the competition gets tougher but we believe FloCash demonstrates the vision, drive and innovation that define a Red Herring Top 100.”
Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technological innovation, management quality, overall business strategy and market penetration. This assessment was complemented by a review of the track records and standings of similar startups in the same verticals, allowing Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Europe.
