SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Augmedix, a pioneer in the development of remote medical documentation, has been selected as a finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 North America award, one of the technology industry's most prestigious prizes.

Finalists for the awards are among the continent's brightest and most innovative private ventures. Red Herring's editorial team has selected the finalists as among North America's tech elite, after a months-long process that took into account criteria including disruptive impact, proof of concept, financial performance, market footprint and quality of management.

For over two decades, Red Herring's team has seen through the tech sector's hype to select brands that have become industry benchmarks. Previous Top 100 finalists have included Alibaba, Facebook, Google, Skype, SuperCell, Spotify, Twitter, and YouTube.

The Top 100 North America has become not only a springboard for some of tech's biggest names, but a valued and trusted tool for venture capitalists, experts and analysts predicting trends at the industry's sharpest edge.

"Selecting finalists for this year's Top 100 has proved more difficult than ever," said Alex Vieux, publisher and chairman of Red Herring. "North America has been tech's beating heart for years–but never have I seen such an exciting, disruptive and innovative generation as we have in 2020. "

"Augmedix fully deserves its place among our finalists, and I've every confidence it will make a significant impact in the tech world," added Vieux.

Manny Krakaris, Augmedix Chief Executive Officer said, "It is an honor that Augmedix has been recognized for our achievements in developing technology that positively impacts the clinician-patient relationship, and enables medical professionals to give their full attention to delivering unparalleled patient care."

Finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Top 100 North America conference on Nov 17-18, 2020. The Top 100 winners will be announced after all the presentations at the Top 100 Forum.
