14 How is the Tech Tour Growth 50 list generated? Companies were assessed to meet at least three of the four criteria below: sales annual growth > 50% (CAGR from Dec 31st 2012 to Dec 31 st 2015) >$100 million valuation financing raised > $20 million Annual revenue > $10 million and valuation <$1billion The Tech Tour identified a long list of 151 companies, backed by at least one independent investor, that potentially met minimal valuation and growth criteria (see box on left) The selection committee then supplemented the list adding additional wild card companies based on the qualitative criteria below: Innovation potential Management Team Pedigree Each selection committee member was then independently asked to generate their own Tech Tour Growth 50 list (i.e. they had fifty votes each). This gave a short list of 64 companies. These companies were then contacted by the Tech Tour and asked to qualify they met three of the four financial criteria. Some also supplied supplementary evidence and actual numbers. Companies that confirmed they met the financial criteria and/or had received 6 or more votes were then included in the list. This gave 40 companies. We then held two conference calls with the selection committee to discuss the remaining companies. Selection committee members advocated for individual companies based on the qualitative criteria. representation from sectors other than internet and software, as well as geographical diversity were other factors considered. The top 50 companies compose the Tech Tour Growth 50. As no method is perfect we have not ranked the Tech Tour Growth 50
