Companies with a dual focus on profit and purpose have just one week left to apply for the first-ever PurposeBuilt100™ recognition program, which will identify and celebrate the 100 fastest-growing purpose-driven companies in the United States. Applications are free and must be submitted by June 15, 2026, according to a press release from The Super Crowd, Inc., the public benefit corporation behind the initiative.
The PurposeBuilt100™ program is designed to honor organizations that demonstrate both measurable revenue growth over a five-year period and a meaningful social or environmental purpose embedded in their mission, products, services, or governance. Unlike traditional awards that merely publish a list, this program aims to elevate founders through storytelling, visibility, and ongoing recognition. Selected companies will be profiled in a hardcover annual report and featured during the PurposeBuilt100™ Showcase at SuperCrowd26, a three-day televised event scheduled for August 25–27, 2026. The showcase will be distributed through the e360tv Network, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and SuperCrowd.tv, reaching 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.”
Winners will receive inclusion in the inaugural PurposeBuilt100™ ranking, a profile in the hardcover PurposeBuilt100™ Report, national publicity and promotional opportunities, a digital badge and commemorative award for marketing and investor communications, and visibility among investors, founders, and advisors. The report itself will serve as a permanent record of the inaugural class, providing long-form visibility beyond the awards presentation.
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 is the culminating showcase of SuperCrowd26, an event bringing together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders from across the impact investing landscape.
Applications are free and typically take only three to five minutes to complete. Interested companies can apply at PurposeBuilt100.com before the June 15 deadline.
This announcement matters because it highlights a growing trend among businesses to integrate social and environmental impact with financial growth. For leaders in business and technology, being named to the PurposeBuilt100 can provide significant credibility and visibility, potentially attracting investors and customers who prioritize sustainability and social responsibility. As impact investing continues to gain momentum, recognition programs like this can help set a benchmark for what it means to be a successful purpose-driven company in today's economy.
