LSU 100: Fastest Growing Tiger Businesses Announced
November 22, 2019
BATON ROUGE – The LSU 100 is a highly competitive program that identifies, recognizes and celebrates
the 100 fastest growing LSU graduate-owned or LSU graduate-led businesses in the world.
This year, LSU also introduced the ROARING 10 list. From all of the companies that
applied for the LSU100, the ROARING 10 list recognizes and celebrates the 10 highest
revenue generating LSU graduate-owned or LSU graduate-led businesses. The company
rankings on both the LSU 100 and the Roaring 10 lists were revealed at a black-tie-optional
gala held at L’Auberge Casino Hotel on Friday, Nov. 22, in Baton Rouge.
Secure Shredding and Recycling International earned the ranking as the number one fastest growing company for the 2019 LSU 100. The company’s owner Jay Babb is a graduate of LSU’s E. J. Ourso College of Business.
Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers earned the Summit Award. This award recognizes the company that earned the highest rank on the ROARING 10 list. The company’s Co-CEO Brad Sanders is an Architecture graduate from LSU’s College of Art & Design.
