(Dallas, TX) July 11, 2018 RoboKind announced today that it has been selected as a winner of Red Herring's 2018 Top 100 North America award, a prestigious list honoring the continent’s most exciting and innovative private technology companies.

The winners of the Red Herring Award have been chosen from thousands of entrants, and judged by industry experts, insiders, and journalists on a wide variety of criteria including financial performance, innovation, business strategy, and market penetration. Winners ran the gamut of verticals, from fintech and marketing to security, IoT, and many more.

“We are extremely humbled and honored to be named a winner of the Red Herring Awards,” said Richard Margolin, the chief technology officer and founder of RoboKind. “There are thousands of companies out there trying to accomplish their goals and help others, and it is rewarding to be recognized for the hard work and impact we are making with students across the globe. We hope that in the future we can inspire more children to learn using robotics and technology.”

“2018’s crop of Top 100 winners has been among our most intriguing yet,” said Alex Vieux, the chairman of Red Herring. “North America has led the way in tech for so many years, and to see such unique, pioneering entrepreneurs and companies here in California, which is in many ways the heartland of the industry, has been a thrilling experience.

“What has excited me most is to see so many people forging niches in high-tech and cutting-edge sectors,” added Vieux. “Some of the technical wizardry and first-rate business models on show here at the conference have been fantastic to learn about. We believe RoboKind embodies the drive, skill, and passion on which tech thrives. RoboKind should be proud of its achievement: the competition was incredibly strong.”
