Openet Telecom - Openet Telecom named in Wall Street Journal survey as a European company in which VCs would most like to invest - Only Irish company listed in Venture Capital Envy Poll.

Openet Telecom, the world leader in convergent mediation, was today named in a Wall Street Journal survey, as one of the companies in which European venture capitalists would most like to invest. Openet Telecom (www.openet-telecom.com) is the only Irish company listed in the quarterly Venture Capital Envy Poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal.

The Envy Portfolio is compiled by asking a panel of venture capitalists to name two European-based, venture-backed companies they admire but in which they have been unable to invest. The objective is to build a picture of which early stage companies are currently generating the most excitement in the VC community.

Openet Telecom is listed among 21 European technology companies which, according to The Wall Street Journal, "boast cutting-edge technologies and impressive management teams to have allowed them to continue to raise substantial funds from private investors".
