For two decades, KuppingerCole Analysts is monitoring the IAM, Digital Identity, and Cybersecurity market. With our Leadership Compass reports on market segments, the Buyer’s Compass providing insights and criteria for decision makers, or the Executive View reports on individual solutions, we already have a range of reports covering the markets in breadth and depth.
Now, there is another member of that family of publications: KuppingerCole Rising Stars.
This new report is devoted to innovative vendors, commonly in the startup stage from early startups with initial customers to companies that already have demonstrated their growth potential.
We talk with hundreds of startups and emerging vendors every year. Now, we will rate them based on a defined set of criteria, with innovativeness and product-market-fit being most relevant, but also looking at their management, organizational structure, and other factors.
Vendors that pass our defined, ambitious thresholds will earn the “KuppingerCole Rising Star” rating for their strong market potential.
We believe these reports will be of value for both decision makers in end-user organizations and financial investors, shining a spotlight on vendors that are not yet broadly known and visible but should be observed. For end-user organizations, they might fill gaps or even become an alternative to established vendors. For investors, they are logical targets.
Stay tuned!
