\n<\/h2>\n
\n

Syracuse, New York, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inc. Magazine, in partnership with Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), has announced its annual Vet100 list<\/a>\u2014a compilation of the nation\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Powered by Fiserv and originally established as the Vet50 list, this year\u2019s list is the third iteration expanded to include 100 veteran-owned and -operated businesses in acknowledgment of the growing culture and success of veteran entrepreneurs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBusiness growth is a real economic driver in this country and the fact is that most of the new jobs in the economy\u2014over 87 percent\u2014are created by private businesses,\u201d says Eric Schurenberg, CEO of Mansueto Ventures, publisher of Inc. Magazine. \u201cVeteran entrepreneurs contribute their share to the job story, employing over 5.5 million. They deserve to be recognized for their continued service to the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s honorees have an average combined revenue of $23.4M and 17 CEOs\/companies on this year\u2019s list are alumni of the IVMF\u2019s award-winning entrepreneurship programs. Twelve companies are repeat Vet100 honorees, including seven from the inaugural Vet50 list in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cMilitary experience provides veteran entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in the business world,\u201d said Mike Haynie, Syracuse University Vice Chancellor and IVMF Founder and Executive Director. \u201cThis year\u2019s list showcases explosive growth in the midst of an extraordinarily challenging business environment. These veteran business owners, nearly 20% of whom have benefitted from an IVMF training program, continue to serve by growing their business, hiring employees and giving back to their communities. Our partnership with Inc. magazine is critical to highlighting the success of these veteran-owned businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vet100 honorees will be formally recognized during the Vet100 Dinner and Awards Ceremony as part of IVMF\u2019s Veteran EDGE Conference<\/a>, to be held in Dallas, TX. EDGE is the first-of-its-kind coalition of large companies supporting the success of veteran-owned businesses, connecting them with entrepreneurial education, training, resources, and networking opportunities.<\/p>\n
