The Aggie 100 was founded and is hosted by the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship at Texas A&M University.

“It’s an incredible honor to even be considered for this award! It’s a testament to the hard work and commitment our entire team puts in, and the unrivalled support that we offer our customers. What can be achieved when a team is focused on every interaction is encouraging, especially as we look forward to celebrating our 10th year in business.  We are so appreciative of the support from our amazing customers and vendors. Thank you and Gig ’em!” said, Blaine Webb, Class of 2000, Owner of Houston Welders Supply.

The 100 Aggie-owned or -led companies with the highest compound annual revenue growth from 2021 to 2023 were recognized at a formal celebration at the Hall of Champions at Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field on Oct. 4 where the program also looked back on its twenty years. The honorees were joined in celebration by family, friends, employees, faculty, administrators, current students, fellow entrepreneurs and even past Aggie 100 honorees. 

“While we celebrate two decades of Aggie 100 this year, we give equal celebration to the 100 companies and 144 individual honorees in the Aggie 100 Class of 2024,” Blake Petty ’98, executive director of the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship said. “It’s a momentous year for Aggie 100 and a momentous year for each of these Aggie leaders.” 

“Much like many of these companies began as a spark of an idea, so did this program. And like the companies whose growth we celebrated this year and across the past twenty years, this program, too, has experienced growth in many forms. After twenty years, Aggie Entrepreneurs continue to stand apart from the rest and show up for their companies, their communities, the economy, their families and our university.”
