Antenova wins the CEO pitch contest at the AlwaysOn (AO) Top 100 Competition

The innovative antenna company Antenova has just been voted the winner of the CEO Pitch contest at the AO100 competition – honouring the best in innovation.

AlwaysOn (an open source media company based in the US) and KPMG 1Start (an emerging business practice) collaborated to identify the 2004 AO100 and help judge the CEO Pitch hosted by the MIT/Stanford Venture Lab. Selection was based on companies who demonstrated leadership and innovation in two key areas; market traction measured by revenue or customer growth and new approaches and technologies that are likely to cause significant change to existing markets and well-established players.

"Antenova’s CEO, Greg McCray, was judged by a panel on opportunity, go-to-market strategy and the overall pitch and presentation. Greg’s presentation easily met what the judges were looking for both in content and delivery and I was absolutely delighted when Antenova scored a record 44 points out of 45 points, making it a clear winner", says Susan Ayers Walker, Chair, MIT/Stanford Venture Lab.

"In all three cases; innovation, market traction and new approaches, Antenova has made incredible progress over the last year and we are thrilled that this has been acknowledged by AlwaysOn", says Greg McCray, CEO.

The annual AlwaysOn Innovation Summit featured over 60 keynote-level speakers, 15 sessions, 32 CEO pitches and two days of conversation about what is driving the next wave of innovation.

End.
