Forbes Announces America’s Top Private Companies of 2011 with Help of CB Insights Mosaic

Earlier today, Forbes released its annual list of America’s top 100 private companies aka Forbes’ America’s Most Promising Companies.  This was the largest list of private companies ever done by Forbes due largely in part to their use of CB Insights’ Mosaic software (learn more about Mosaic here).  Mosaic’s software mines the web for digital information left behind by companies and these “digital footprints” are used to assess the strength or weakness of companies.

While we have plenty of exciting product and other updates coming out about Mosaic in the near future, we wanted to use this post to congratulate the 100 amazing companies who were honored by Forbes.  These are companies who are leading in some giant markets and which are poised for big things for many years to come.

You can learn more about these impressive companies and their growth by visiting Forbes America’s Most Promising Companies section here.  An article about the top 20 in particular is here which is def worth a read as well.  Congratulations again to all of the deserving top private companies who made the list.

For our subscribers, all the company profiles are on CB Insights, and you can just click here for a complete list (hit the link after you login).  This will not just give you the list but their profiles will include their prior investment history, if any.  This, of course, is very handy for VCs and PE investors.

Below is the list of Forbes top 100 private companies.
