Launched in 2004, the Cool Vendors program also develops similar reports that identify emerging tech leaders in categories including Digital Workplace, Big Data, Mobile and Wireless and several others.
"FLEXE 'virtualizes' warehouse space so businesses can dynamically customize their warehousing and fulfillment operations as their needs change – this is a huge benefit to the supply chain and logistics industry," said Fritz Lanman, a former Microsoft executive and Angel investor in Pinterest, Square, Wish and other tech startups. "As the pioneers of this model, and with the scale they've already achieved in building their network of more than 300 warehouses, we believe that FLEXE is positioned for long-term category leadership and could become a business on the scale of AirBnb or Amazon Web Services."
