The list includes popular Austin-based companies such as Rambler Sparkling Water, Beatbox Beverages, and El Arroyo.
"Some of the brightest minds and the most successful entrepreneurs are UT graduates. To be listed among them in the Longhorn 100 is a true honor," said Dave Mead, Chief Marketing Officer and co-founder of Rambler Sparkling Water. "The University of Texas provided us with an unmatched education and a roadmap to success. Austin is a mecca for creatives and entrepreneurs and we’re truly humbled to be building a successful, fast-growing business in and around the Forty Acres.
"The Longhorn 100 brings together some of UT’s best and brightest," said Chuck Harris, the executive director and CEO of Texas Exes. "Recognizing the entrepreneurial achievements of Longhorns is a way the university can support its alumni long after they’ve left the Forty Acres and encourage future growth and innovation from Texas Exes."
In addition to being Longhorn founded, owned, or led, the top 100 companies have been in continual operation for the past five years, and have had an annual revenue of at least $250,000 since 2019. The rankings were determined by sorting the companies’ percentages of compound annual growth in sales or revenue from Jan 1, 2019, through Dec. 31, 2021.
"For us, it's a huge honor to be surrounded by such diverse and successful businesses. We're alongside companies that inspire us, and I hope we do the same for them," said Kristy Owen, founder of 365 Things Austin. "My time at UT instilled in me a deep love and admiration for this city. 365 is a company that grew from — and the primary value still is — a profound love of Austin.
Applications for the 2024 Longhorn 100 will open in September 2023. For more information and FAQs about the Longhorn 100 or Texas Exes, please visit
