Eight Nominees for Outsell’s Growth Tank


Eight Nominees for Outsell’s Growth Tank

This year, Outsell’s Signature Event will take you on a journey, one where we learn how others are Driving Growth in the Data Economy. There’s no better place to look than those embodied by cool, emerging companies making their way onto the data, analytics, and information industry stage. Data-driven solutions providers, software providers, and software providers delivering analytics solutions are really data-driven services. They’re all one. Call it SaaS, call it services driven by machine learning, call it an AI company — at the end of the day a lot of the companies driving innovation in our industry are “something-tech” companies who’ve melded machine learning, AI, and software to deliver content-rich solutions at the point of decision-making.

Larger companies in the industry are morphing or have morphed their solutions in this direction, and the younger companies are what we call “the feeder fish” — acquisition targets for strategics making up a virtuous circle of driving growth. There’s no better place to look at companies emblematic of this than the eight companies we are featuring at Outsell’s Signature Event this year. Each of the eight companies use data, analytics, machine learning, or a combination of each to do something unique that most any company in our industry will want to take note of and consider for their own business. Starting with the Outsell 250, we applied a rigorous scoring process to find notable emerging companies. Of those companies, we narrowed the field down to Outsell’s 30 to Watch. We’ve chosen eight to appear on stage this year.

They have relevant case studies for all attendees and represent a new breed of innovation taking place as well as the next generation of companies entering the industry. They are Driving Growth in the Data Economy. Don’t miss your opportunity to hear from the best and brightest, and participate in Outsell’s Growth Tank competition where you’ll be able to “spend” your venture dollars and pick a winner for Outsell’s Emerging Company of the Year.
