(Baton Rouge) – Gatorworks will be honored as one of the 2015 LSU 100: Fastest Growing Tiger Businesses during the LSU 100 Honoree Luncheon, scheduled for Friday, October 23, at the L’Auberge Casino Hotel Baton Rouge.
The LSU 100 is hosted by the LSU Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute (SEI), housed in the E. J. Ourso College of Business. The event identifies, recognizes and celebrates the 100 fastest growing companies owned or led by former LSU students and alumni.

Other requirements for eligibility include having been in business for at least five years as of 2014, having verifiable revenues of at least $100,000 or more for each of the years measured, and having a former LSU student or alumnus either own 50% or more of the company or serve as the company’s chief executive for each of the years measured.
