Annual ranking honors 100 fastest-growing veteran-owned and -operated businesses

SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Inc. Magazine, in partnership with Syracuse University's D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), has announced the sixth annual Vet100 list—a compilation of the nation’s fastest-growing veteran-owned and -operated businesses. The ranking was born out of the iconic Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies based in the U.S. Both distinctions are considered hallmarks of entrepreneurial success.

“Building a business and the prosperity that can come with it, has never been harder than in this past, chaotic year, the supply chain disruption and the pandemic before it,” says Scott Omelianuk, Inc.’s Editor in Chief. “Given that prosperity is driven by small business, and given, we now know, the impact Veteran founders have on that small business, it's important to recognize them and celebrate their foundational support of the economy through their entrepreneurial successes.”

This year’s list includes 48 veteran-owned businesses that have been named to a previous Vet100 list, including KGM Technologies in Norcross, Georgia, the top-ranking veteran-owned business on the Vet100 list, and ranked in 27th place on the Inc. 5000 list. This year’s honorees have an average growth rate of 1,846% over the past three years, and 24 of the businesses appearing on the Vet100 list are alumni of the IVMF’s programs. Also, this year’s list features 10 businesses that are owned by women veteran entrepreneurs, a unique community of entrepreneurs the IVMF supports through its Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (V-WISE) program.

“In almost every industry we see veteran-owned businesses excelling by applying leadership and management skills they learned from their military service and having tremendous impact in their communities,” said Dr. Mike Haynie, Syracuse University Vice Chancellor as well as the Founder and Executive Director of the IVMF. “Veteran entrepreneurs are a critical component of the small business landscape, and we’re excited to see our program graduates recognized by Inc., particularly those who are enjoying recurring placement on the Vet100 list. We appreciate Inc.’s commitment to highlighting these success stories. One specific area we’re proud to see growth this year is the number of those businesses whose veteran business owners are women. All of us here at the IVMF take pride in moments like these and we’re grateful for the continued partnership with Inc.”

The 2023 Vet100 honorees will be formally recognized in March during the IVMF’s Veteran EDGE conference, which will take place in Dallas, Texas.
