Apply

The recruitment deadline for the Sun Devil 100 Class of 2021 has passed, and the ASU Alumni Association is in the process of reviewing and verifying the submitted applications. Sun Devil owned and led businesses who will become a part of the Class of 2021 will be notified in January 2021.

Listed below is information about the application process and criteria to be a part of Sun Devil 100.

Application process:

Review the criteria for the program.
Fill out the application.
Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed for eligibility requirements. You will be contacted if additional information is required.
Once eligibility has been established, all applicants will be required to submit a copy of their financial records from the previous three calendar years. For the Class of 2021, records from 2017, 2018 and 2019 will be required. Financial records are submitted to our third-party financial advisor, Henry+Horne.
- Additional information on submitting financial records will be sent to applicants after the application has been received.
- All financial records and information are kept confidential.
Eligible companies will be ranked by the compound annual growth rate from revenues over calendar and fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. After these calculations, eligible companies will be listed by growth rate from the highest to the lowest. The top 100 fastest-growing companies will be honored with induction into the Sun Devil 100 Class of 2022.

Criteria

Each year, the ASU Alumni Association selects leaders of organizations from around the world that demonstrate innovation, growth and entrepreneurial spirit. Chosen honorees are invited back to campus in the spring to be recognized. Honorees will have the opportunity to connect with each other, meet with ASU leaders and deans and interact with aspiring student entrepreneurs.

To be considered, a business leader must follow these guidelines:

The company must operate in a manner consistent with the ASU Charter in the areas of inclusion, impact on public good and responsibility to the community:
- The ASU Charter, adopted in 2014, is the blueprint to the transformation into the New American College: ASU is a comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves.
The company must be Sun Devil owned or led, meaning owned by an ASU graduate or led in an executive position by an ASU graduate.
The company must have generated verifiable revenues of $250,000 or more in each of the calendar years: 2018, 2019, 2020; or each of the fiscal years ending in: 2018, 2019, 2020.
The company must have been in business for at least three calendar years: 2018, 2019, 2020; or three fiscal years ending in: 2018, 2019, 2020.
