Yesterday, Amplitude was recognized as a Rising Star in the category of analytics in the cloud sector, as part of The Forbes 2016 Cloud 100.

In addition, one [Rising Star](https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2016/09/07/cloud-100-rising-stars-of-cloud-computing/#3e5d6542541f) company was chosen as a category stand-out in each of the twenty categories, including analytics; these companies are recognized as the most innovative and promising young companies of their respective categories.
