Apply to PurposeBuilt100™—Everyone Who Applies Gets Executive Access
If you lead a purpose-driven company, this is an invitation you won’t want to miss.
Applications are now open for PurposeBuilt100™, our new annual ranking of the 100 fastest-growing purpose-driven companies in America—a recognition designed to highlight businesses that prove you can scale impact and revenue at the same time.
But here’s something important many people miss:
Everyone who applies receives an Executive Access ticket to SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100.
That’s true whether your company ultimately lands on the winners list or not.
We want the process of applying to be valuable in itself—an entry point into a community of founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders who believe business can solve real problems while creating durable value.
Let me explain what that means.
Every Applicant Receives Executive Access
An Executive Access ticket (normally priced at $50) includes:
Access to the private LinkedIn group for Executive Access participants
Entry to the Executive Lounge, open for 30 hours during the three-day event
Invitations to daily executive networking sessions following each day’s programming
SuperCrowd26 runs August 25–27, 2026, streaming globally as a broadcast-style event that convenes founders, investors, and ecosystem builders across the impact investing community.
In other words, applying to PurposeBuilt100 isn’t just submitting data for a ranking.
It’s a way to join a curated room full of people building the future of impact-driven entrepreneurship.
What Winners Receive
The 100 companies selected for the PurposeBuilt100 list receive additional recognition and benefits.
Winners receive Founders Circle tickets, which include everything in Executive Access plus:
A copy of the hardbound, full-color PurposeBuilt100 report
Profiles in the PurposeBuilt100 book, documenting the fastest-growing purpose-driven companies
Visibility through the PurposeBuilt100 Showcase during SuperCrowd26
The book itself is designed as a coffee-table quality annual record of high-growth impact companies, distributed to founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders.
It’s meant to be more than an award.
It’s meant to be a signal of credibility.
The Ranking Is Based on Simple Math
The ranking process is intentionally straightforward.
Impact-eligible companies are ranked based on five-year revenue growth.
The core calculation is:
2025 revenue ÷ 2021 revenue
That simple ratio allows us to identify companies that have achieved meaningful growth while staying true to a mission-driven purpose.
Applicants will submit revenue documentation along with basic company information and a short description of the company’s impact.
We’re looking for companies that combine:
measurable growth
a clear purpose-driven mission
real products or services making a difference

Not everyone reading this newsletter is a founder.
But many of you know founders who should apply.
If someone in your network is building a mission-driven company and experiencing strong growth, please send them this post.
Sometimes the biggest barrier to recognition isn’t lack of merit—it’s simply not hearing about the opportunity in time.
You can help change that.

Building Something Bigger
PurposeBuilt100 is designed to become an annual institution recognizing companies that prove purpose and profit can scale together.
The program culminates in a televised showcase during SuperCrowd26, where founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders gather to learn, connect, and celebrate companies building real solutions.
If you’re building something meaningful, we hope you’ll apply.
And if you know someone who is, please invite them.
The future of impact entrepreneurship is being built right now.
Let’s make sure the companies doing the work get the recognition they deserve.
