Actifio Selected As One Of ‘50 Start-Ups To Watch’ BY Dow Jones VentureWire

Nov. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- WALTHAM, Mass. – November 8, 2010 – Actifio™, the leader in Data Management Virtualization (DMV), today announced that Dow Jones VentureWire has named it to its list of ‘50 Start-Ups to Watch’.   Aided by an advisory board of 10 seasoned venture capitalists, VentureWire examined hundreds of early-stage technology companies that have raised no more than two rounds of venture capital financing to select the 50 companies they felt were most promising.  

The start-ups were chosen based on a variety of criteria, according to the Wall Street Journal blog Venture Capital Dispatch.  Some companies have already shown value in the marketplace, while some have entirely innovative products. The start-ups may have attracted influential investors, or their founders are proven entrepreneurial successes. Some of the ‘50 Start-Ups to Watch’ have several of these attributes. The WSJ blog also noted that, "Venture capitalists often say the best start-ups are funded during recessions because these companies know how to keep operations lean and mean."  

Actifio introduced its groundbreaking Data Management Virtualization software suite, including Actifio™ DP for data protection, Actifio™ DR for disaster recovery and Actifio™ BC for business continuity, in August 2010. To date, the company has raised two rounds of venture financing totaling $24 million.
