Saisei Named Big 50 Startup for 2016

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - June 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Saisei announced today that it was named a top 50 startup in Startup50's Big 50-2016 report, an annual roundup of the top tech startups to watch in the coming year.  Hundreds of startups enter the rigorous vetting process where they are evaluated by a panel of experts and voted on by members across the tech community to determine the top 50 that represent the technologies, market sectors, and trends that will challenge the status quo.

Saisei is an innovator in network analytics and control.  Its software provides extensive analytics and control of application delivery, user experience and security posture for SDN, NFV, cloud and mobile networks.

"Winning this award is particularly gratifying because it represents the great recognition and support we have from customers, partners and industry supporters who've evaluated us and believe what we're doing is very different and beneficial to managing enterprises and service provider networks today," said Saisei Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Bill Beckett.

Previous Big 50 startups have achieved billion-dollar valuations (Cloudera), been acquired by major incumbents (Eucalyptus), and completed successful IPOs (Square).

"I won't be at all surprised if several of the startups in the Big 50-2016 list are household names in the coming years," said Jeff Vance, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Startup50. "This is a really strong lineup, with startups tackling everything from artificial intelligence to water treatment to cyber-security and Big Data."

"I've been covering startups since the dotcom bubble first started to inflate. As a journalist, one of the most vexing challenges is separating the contenders from the science and vanity projects.  With so much noise in the startup world, finding any meaningful signals, the ones that truly correlate with success, is an ongoing, uphill battle," said Vance. "To earn a spot in the Big 50, startups must go through a rigorous vetting process, one designed to strip away the noise and focus only on substance. The Final 50 are the determined few who fought their way through the entire gauntlet."
