The LSU 100 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 LSU 100 provides a forum to pass lessons on to the next generation of LSU entrepreneurs.

Companies honored must meet the following criteria:

Must have been in business for five years or more
Must have verifiable revenues of $100,000 in 2010
Must have a former LSU student as owner of at least 50 percent of the company, as an active founder, or as chief executive officer, president or managing partner
Must operate in a manner consistent with the mission of LSU and SEI

“The LSU 100 grows more diverse and competitive each year,” said Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute Interim Director Robin Kistler. “We are looking forward to celebrating the hard work, innovation, and impact of these entrepreneurs.”
