Co-founder and President Colton Reed ’11 of Baytown, Texas, was named as a 2023 Aggie 100 honoree. Upon receiving this recognition at the awards banquet, Colton stated “Listen, for as long as I can remember I have wanted to be an Aggie. This was a dream I set for myself. Once I graduated, I needed to substantiate for myself the core values our university stands for. I wanted to do something that would make my family, friends, and community proud”.
The 100 Aggie-owned companies with the highest compound annual revenue growth from 2020 to 2022 were recognized at a formal celebration at the Hall of Champions at Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field on October 27th.
The honorees were joined in celebration by family, friends, employees, faculty,
administrators, current students and fellow entrepreneurs.
“The 19th year of Aggie 100 was literally one for the books,” said Blake Petty ’98, executive director of the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship. “This year saw three Aggie 100 records broken, including the highest number of applications and the highest threshold of a growth rate just to qualify for the list.”
“Any company on the 2023 Aggie 100 should be incredibly proud of this accomplishment as this was the hardest year to make it onto the list,” Petty continued. “As we look ahead to celebrating twenty years of Aggie 100 in 2024, we continue to be impressed by and proud of the accomplishments and successes of Aggie Entrepreneurs. Celebrating and honoring them is always a highlight of our year.”
