Since the inaugural LSU100 event in 2011, five companies have made the list all eight
years. These exemplary organizations include Global Data Vault; Horizon Wealth Management;
Lipsey’s, LLC; SGS Petroleum Service Corporation; and USA Technologies, Inc.
The LSU100 is a highly competitive program that identifies, recognizes and celebrates
the 100 fastest growing Tiger-owned or Tiger-led businesses in the world. In addition
to celebrating the success of the honorees, the LSU100 provides a forum to pass lessons
on to the next generation of LSU entrepreneurs.
On behalf of Louisiana State University, LSU Executive Education hosts the event and
serves as the primary point of contact for all operations and development. Postlethwaite
& Netterville is the 2018 LSU100 accounting firm partner and the Tiger Athletic Foundation,
LSU Foundation, and LSU’s Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute are LSU sponsors of
the event. The LSU Alumni Association serves as the Entertainment and Digital Media
sponsor for the program and Gatorworks provides the LSU100 website.
The nomination period for the 2019 LSU100 will open early next year. The 2019 gala
will be held at L’Auberge Casino Hotel on November 22, 2019. More details will be
announced via www.lsu100.com.
