Nine of the companies on this year’s LSU 100 list, which the university has released annually since 2011 to spotlight the fastest-growing businesses led by LSU alumni, have been on the list all six years.
LSU released the names of the companies on this year’s list this morning, but the exact rankings won’t be unveiled until an honoree reception and dinner that will be held at L’Auberge Casino & Hotel on Thursday, Oct. 13.
The nine companies that have been on the list since its inception are: Gladden Sales, Global Data Vault, Horizon Wealth Management, Immense Networks, J.P. Oil Company, Lipsey’s, SGS Petroleum Service Corporation, Sparkhound and USA Technologies Inc.
LSU 100 is presented by LSU Executive Education. To be eligible for the list, a company must be in operation for five or more years and must have at least $100,000 in verifiable revenues for the 2012-2015 calendar years. A former LSU student also must own at least 50% of the company or serve as its president, managing partner or chief executive officer. It also must operate in a manner consistent with LSU mission. Postlethwaite & Netterville, LSU 100’s official accounting firm, compiles the rankings.
