The CO—100 honorees were chosen out of more than 12,500 applicants by an esteemed panel of judges for impressive growth, innovative strategies, and commitment to building strong workplace cultures. The 2025 CO— 100 generates more than $400 million in annual revenue and represents more than 50 local chambers of commerce. The list includes tech innovators, customer champions, growth accelerators, disruptors, and global stars located in 35 states and Washington, D.C. ... “Small businesses are the heartbeat of our economy, and their stories are nothing short of extraordinary,” said Jeanette Mulvey, Vice President and Editor-in-Chief of CO— by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “The CO—100 honorees exemplify what it means to lead with purpose, adapt with agility, and build with vision. These entrepreneurs and teams are not only shaping their local communities— they’re setting new standards for what’s possible in business.”

From October 6-8, the CO—100 will be celebrated at premier events at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's historic headquarters in Washington, D.C., where they will participate in a VIP experience and gain access to some of the most influential names in business through the Small Business Forum.
