Purpose-driven companies across the United States have just one week remaining to apply for inclusion in the inaugural PurposeBuilt100™, a national recognition program honoring the 100 fastest-growing purpose-driven companies in America. Applications are free and must be submitted by June 15, 2026.
Selected companies will be recognized as part of PurposeBuilt100™, an annual ranking and awards program celebrating organizations that combine meaningful social or environmental impact with exceptional business growth. Winners will receive national recognition, be profiled in a hardcover annual report, and be featured during the PurposeBuilt100™ Showcase at SuperCrowd26, a three-day televised event scheduled for August 25–27, 2026.
Unlike traditional awards programs that simply publish a list, PurposeBuilt100™ is designed to elevate founders and their companies through storytelling, visibility, and ongoing recognition. The program culminates in a televised showcase distributed through the e360tv Network, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and SuperCrowd.tv, introducing selected companies to an audience of founders, investors, advisors, and ecosystem leaders.
“Every year, purpose-driven founders create extraordinary value for customers, communities, and investors, yet many never receive the recognition they deserve,” said Devin Thorpe, founder of PurposeBuilt100™ and CEO of The Super Crowd, Inc. “PurposeBuilt100™ was created to shine a spotlight on companies proving that purpose and growth can go hand in hand. If your company is making a difference and growing rapidly, I encourage you to apply before the June 15 deadline.”
PurposeBuilt100™ recognizes companies demonstrating both measurable growth and meaningful purpose. Eligible companies are evaluated based on documented revenue growth over a five-year period and evidence of social or environmental purpose embedded in their mission, products, services, or governance.
Companies selected for the inaugural PurposeBuilt100™ will receive: inclusion in the inaugural PurposeBuilt100™ ranking; a profile in the hardcover PurposeBuilt100™ Report; recognition during the televised PurposeBuilt100™ Showcase at SuperCrowd26; national publicity and promotional opportunities; a digital badge and commemorative award for marketing, recruiting, and investor communications; and visibility among investors, founders, advisors, and ecosystem leaders.
The PurposeBuilt100™ Report will serve as a permanent record of the inaugural class, profiling each selected company and providing long-form visibility beyond the awards presentation itself.
PurposeBuilt100™ is produced by The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation dedicated to helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs access capital, credibility, and community. The recognition program serves as the culminating showcase of SuperCrowd26, a three-day event bringing together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders from across the impact investing landscape.
Applications are free and typically require only three to five minutes to complete. The application deadline is June 15, 2026. Apply now at PurposeBuilt100.com.
This announcement matters because it provides a new platform for purpose-driven companies to gain national visibility, which can help them attract investors, customers, and talent. By highlighting companies that successfully balance growth with social or environmental impact, PurposeBuilt100™ aims to shift the narrative that profit and purpose are mutually exclusive. For the impact investing industry, the program offers a curated list of high-growth opportunities, potentially channeling more capital toward companies that address pressing societal challenges. The televised showcase and hardcover report also create enduring assets for recognized companies, enhancing their credibility and marketing reach.
