Corra Group Client Selected for Red Herring 100 North America

Corra Group is pleased to announce that one of our clients, BlueNog, has been selected by Red Herring for its list of 100 North American Finalists.   We have been conducting background checks for BlueNog for sometime and know them as a consummate website management service.

To be picked for the Red Herring 100 is no small feat.  Thousand of companies apply and only a scant hundred are selected every year.  To be eligible for the Red Herring list, a company must be privately held, headquartered in North America, and not listed on any exchanges in the world.

BlueNog claims its name comes from favorite color, blue, and Nog, a wooden peg that hold infrastructure together.  What Co-Founder and Director, Scott Barnett does not know is the company first caught my eye because “Nog,” is also the title of one of my favorite early reading and cult status novels, by Rudolph Wurlitzer.

In any event we want to congratulate Scott and the Team at BlueNog for winning this coveted award.  This is the second major achievement award for BlueNog this year.   They were also picked for the Information Startup 50.

Way to go.
