Ann: Announced finalist in 2018 Red Herring Top 100 Europe Awards, page-21

You can look into this selection as you will, it could be  a positive or delta.
The facts are if you look at this list supplied from Red Herring Top 100 recent exixts:

https://www.redherring.com/events/top-100/red-herring-top-100-recent-exits/

These young companies that have made the list have gone from strength to strength from either their own IPO's or mergers / acquisitions. Most have had outstanding share price appreciation from what I can see.
I think the results here speak for itself with Red Herrings reputation, just my thoughts.
