WatchMouse honoured as a leading European TMT company

BARCELONA, Spain and AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – 24 September 2010 – WatchMouse, a global leader in website performance and application monitoring was named as one of 10 Young Bull winners today for the inaugural 2010 Bully Award honouring the leading European technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) companies as presented by White Bull Summits.

"The Bully Award winners were selected for innovation and values of excellence in the TMT sector,” stated Farley Duvall, Founder and Chairman of White Bull Summits. “Each of the 2010 Bully Award winners have been recognized as a leader in their field, with a bright business proposition and meaningful market strategies, driven by a rich understanding of customer needs and technological solutions.”

A total of 60 European companies were named as finalists for the 2010 Bully Award, and 30 were honoured as winners. The deserving winners were selected from a pool of entries that included hundreds of nominated European TMT companies.

The winners fall into three categories:

  • Yearlings: firms that seek or have received angel/seed rounds or equivalent; classic start-ups
  • Young Bulls: firms that seek or have received Series A financing; early stage companies
  • Longhorns: post Series A firms; growth stage companies

“Winning the White Bull ‘Young Bull’ award is significant because it is recognition and further validation of our product, and also speaks to our ability to challenge the old bulls in the monitoring space,” said Stan van de Burgt, CEO and co-founder of WatchMouse. “Additionally, the award is a notable milestone after having 12 months of remarkable 60% growth year-on-year.”

“We searched for the ‘wily beast’ we believe lives inside all successful businesses,” adds Duvall. “We very carefully reviewed start-ups, early-stage and growth-stage companies, and selected 30 winners that we believe have demonstrated clear potential for further growth, including a high probability for exit in the next few years.”
