Six companies led by LSU Law alumni are included on this year’s LSU 100 list of the fastest-growing Tiger-led businesses.
Now in its 11th year, the LSU 100 is a highly competitive program that identifies, ranks, and celebrates the 100 fastest-growing businesses in the world that are either owned or led by LSU graduates.
To qualify for the list, companies must have been in business for at least five years and have revenue of at least $100,000 for the previous three years. Companies must also either have an LSU graduate who owns at least 50% of the business; or who serves as CEO, president or managing partner; or who founded the company and remains in a C-Suite management position.
One company led by an LSU Law alumnus is also included on the LSU Roaring 10, which recognizes the 10 highest revenue generating businesses from all those that apply for the LSU 100 each year.
Companies are confidentially ranked by Postlethwaite & Netterville by their compounded annual growth rate. LSU 100 is hosted by LSU Executive Education.
