eSilicon Corporation Named a Red Herring 100 Company
Award recognizes 100 private companies in North America that drive the technology industry’s future.
SUNNYVALE and BELMONT, Calif. - May 11, 2005 - eSilicon Corporation, a leading supplier of custom integrated circuits, today announced it has been named one of the Red Herring 100 Private Companies of North America.
“Five years after the dot-com bubble burst, innovation and entrepreneurship are thriving. The companies on this list are proof,” said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss.
“It is a great honor for eSilicon™ to be recognized by a prestigious publication like Red Herring as a Top 100 private company,” said Jack Harding, Chairman, President and CEO of eSilicon. “Our company reached profitability last year and we have tripled year-over-year revenues. We feel the semiconductor industry will continue its rapid adoption of our unique business model that enables rapid deployment of custom chips with a 95-percent first time success rate.”
Red Herring’s lists of private companies are an important part of the magazine’s tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google and eBay were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors as those that would change the way we live and work.
Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 900 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. Red Herring 100 companies will be presenting their business model and strategy at the Red Herring Spring conference. Red Herring Spring will take place May 17-19 at the Monterey Plaza Hotel in Monterey, California.
