On October 3, 2018, Outsell hosted its 3rd annual Emerging Company Growth Tank, inviting eight companies to present in front of an audience of industry-leading CEOs. The presentations were gripping, demonstrating significant advances in AI, blockchain, and data visualization, as well as new, powerful insights that could positively affect billions around the globe.

The theme for the Outsell Signature Event following the Growth Tank was “Case Studies in Execution.” I cannot think of any better emerging case studies than the eight companies that joined us in London. They truly set the paradigm as companies that deploy groundbreaking technology, disrupt existing business models, and solve an array of problems affecting businesses and people today. A huge congrats to the companies that joined us on stage.

Our audience came, they listened, and they voted for the 2018 Outsell Emerging Company of the Year. Bombora, the leading provider of B2B demographic, firmographic, and intent data, came in 3rd. ALTR, a blockchain-powered data security solution for the enterprise, came in 2nd. And now, a special congrats to the 2018 Outsell Emerging Company of the Year: Corvium.

Corvium is obsessed with making the world a safer place to eat by providing organizations in the food industry with access to real-time facts about the changing risk status of their operations. Their workflow and analytics solutions enable continuous visualization, monitoring, actions, and up-to-date documentation of food safety testing across multiple production facilities.

Food touches home for all. The value of the data and insights that Corvium provides can impact the lives of billions. This is the power of good information and data, and what gets us out of bed every day. We are incredibly excited for the future of Corvium and congratulate them on their well-deserved win as the 2018 Outsell Emerging Company of the Year.

I’d like to also say a special thanks to our sponsors of the Emerging Company Growth Tank: Indico and Dprism. Without their support, this event would not have been possible. Additional special thanks go to Tom Wilde, the CEO of Indico, for joining me on stage for a fireside chat on AI. You can hear my Outsell for Startups episode with Indico here.

At Outsell, we like to say our events are like painting the Golden Gate bridge. Once you finish painting from one side to the other, you turn around and start all over again.
