Kabbage, Inc., the leading provider of working capital for small businesses across the U.S., announced today it is a finalist for the Red Herring Top 100 Americas award, which recognizes the top private companies in the Americas. The award focuses on identifying companies who have developed sustainable, long-term innovations and are positioned to grow at an explosive rate. Kabbage was selected for developing a revolutionary approach to providing capital to small businesses. Red Herrings editors previously recognized such notable firms as Facebook Twitter, Google, Yahoo!, Skype, and YouTube as promising innovators.

We are honored to be named a finalist for the Red Herring Top 100 Americas awards, said Marc Gorlin, Kabbage Co-Founder and Chairman. Our business model exemplifies Red Herrings focus on innovation. Kabbage has disrupted the commercial financing model by developing a breakthrough technology that provides working capital to small businesses in less than 7 minutes. It is extremely difficult for small businesses to get access to the capital they need to grow. Kabbage developed a seamless process that provides small businesses with funding within minutes of applying online, allowing them to get the capital they need to buy more inventory, launch marketing programs, hire staff and be able to grow and to prosper.

“This year was very rewarding,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and Chairman of Red Herring. “There are so many great companies producing truly innovative and amazing products and technologies. We had a very difficult time narrowing the field and selecting the Finalists from such a group of future stars. Kabbage shows great promise therefore deserves to be on the short list.

Before Kabbage, a small business often spent many fruitless months in search of capital. Kabbage built its business to make this process simple and fast through an Internet based application and automated funding system, which provides approval and cash within 7 minutes of application. Kabbage accomplishes this by instantly obtaining a variety of data such as UPS shipping data, ecommerce activity on Ebay, Amazon and other marketplaces, PayPal activity, and even conversations on social media sites as part of its automated platform that assesses risk and delivers immediate working capital to businesses.

The annual Red Herring Top 100 Americas began in 1996 and recognizes private companies that are evaluated based on quantitative and qualitative criteria such as strategy execution, technology innovation, and industry integration.
