Coupa Software Short-Listed for the 2015 Red Herring 100 Global Award

SAN MATEO, November 17, 2015—Coupa Software, the leader in cloud-based spend management, today announced that it has been selected as a candidate for Red Herring's 2015 Top 100 Global award, a prestigious recognition honoring the year’s most audacious and far-reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs from across the globe.
 
The Red Herring editorial team selected the companies demonstrating the most innovative technologies and business models originating from more than 1,000 companies from more than 40 nations. These companies, representing past Red Herring Asia, Europe and North America award winners, are judged on a range of qualitative and quantitative metrics, including but not limited to, technology innovation, financial performance, growth criterion, management's execution standards, potential globalization of the strategy, and market share improvement.  

“After being selected as a 2015 Red Herring Top 100 North America winner earlier this year, we are proud to have been named a 2015 finalist for the global awards,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa. “Coupa’s innovative approach to enterprise software is making a real impact for our customers around the world, and being a finalist for the 2015 Red Herring Top 100 Global Award celebrates our continued focus on bringing value and savings to our customers.”

“Technology companies are becoming the bright spot in the economic outlook based on their increasing role within macro-­‐economic environments,” stated Alex Vieux, Red Herring chairman. “2015 has demonstrated the sector's vibrant activity and its contribution to the global economic recovery. An unprecedented number of entrepreneurs are jumping ahead of the competition and making a difference. Constant breakthroughs make recent developments obsolete faster than ever before. Coupa is performing exceptionally well in its field and strongly deserves to be singled out as one of the Red Herring Global finalists. At this stage, we are left with the daunting task to select the best qualified companies for the 2015 Top 100 Global Awards.”

The finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Global forum in Los Angeles, November 17 to 19. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on November 19.
