Guidewire Group Announces Innovate!100 List
Guidewire Group today announced the Innovate!100, the list of outstanding and fast-moving startup companies from around the world. The List was developed after more than 30 Pitch Slam events on five continents over the past 10 months, as part of the Innovate! 2010program. Placement on the list was determined by a combination of the company’s G/SCORE assessment, stage and pace of growth, and business potential.
The G/SCORE measures a company along seven factors: overall concept, market opportunity, competitive risk, product development, business development, team, and business model. In each factor, our judges compare the company to key milestones that represent achievement in business building. Using the G/SCORE data, combined with other information about the companies, we ranked the startups who participated at each event. The top company at each Pitch Slam event automatically made the Innovate!100 List. Then, we selected the top-scoring companies, overall, and then the top five companies in each of our growth stage tiers (prototype, beta, product complete, revenue). Finally, this week, 16 of the top 25 companies honed their pitches at the Guidewire Group Studio G workshop in Zaragoza, Spain, to jockey for their final placement on the Innovate!100 List.
