35 Years
of Top 100
CELEBRATING SUCCESS, INNOVATION, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The 2021 Greater Rochester Chamber Top 100 Awards program marks the 35th anniversary of the prestigious celebration of Greater Rochester’s fastest growing privately-owned companies. Starting in 1987, the Top 100 Awards began in conjunction with Greater Rochester Chamber’s Annual Meeting but grew into its own program and took center stage–a testimony to the strong sense of entrepreneurship and rapid growth that is characteristic of our region. Over the past 35 years, 909 companies have been recognized with collective revenue of nearly $300 billion brought into the Greater Rochester region since the inception of the Award. Since the program first started, KPMG LLP has partnered with Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce to recognize the area’s fastest growing companies. KPMG collects and compiles all nominations. After the program deadline, information for all qualifying entries is confirmed by KPMG and all revenue figures are held in the strictest confidence by KPMG. To be eligible for the award, businesses must be privately held, headquartered in the nine-county Greater Rochester region, and have earned at least $1 million in revenue in each of the three most recent fiscal years. The ranking list is computed by KPMG based on revenue growth, taking into account both dollar and percentage growth.
