Aggie 100 honors fastest-growing Aggie-owned businesses

The Aggie 100 held Friday night recognized the top 100 fastest-growing businesses owned or operated by an Aggie.

To commemorate 12th year, the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship (CNVE) at Mays Business School held an awards and reunion gala Friday evening instead of the traditional luncheon. In addition, an inaugural speaker series Friday afternoon featured Aggie 100 recipients.

The 2016 Aggie 100 class was comprised of 55 new companies and represents five states. To see the 2016 list, go to Aggie100.com.

To qualify for the award, the company must have been in business for at least five years and have had verifiable revenues of $250,000 or more for the 2013 calendar year. An Aggie must hold a majority leadership position in their company.

“The 12th Annual Aggie 100 is a very impressive representation of Aggie excellence. The companies reflect 1,352 years of experience bringing the best to their respective industries and keeping the Aggie entrepreneurial standards alive and well,” said Richard H. Lester, executive director of the CNVE.
