To qualify for the highly competitive LSU 100 list, which is now in its 12th year, 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.
This year, one business led by an LSU Law alumnus is also featured on the LSU Roaring 10 list, 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.
