The Future 50 companies have gone head to head, or balance sheet to balance sheet, with their peers and come out on top. The 50 fastest-growing privately held companies are selected in a tabulation of their previous revenue growth and job growth, and their projected revenue growth and job growth over the next three years. PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLC, the accounting firm, compiles the results. The top 50 firms are ranked alphabetically. Be based in Middle Tennessee.
Businesses can nominate themselves, or their customers or suppliers can put up their names.
Nominations for the Future 50 of 2001 will be solicited next summer. The honorees are recognized each year in a special section of The Tennessean and at a dinner. The annual event is sponsored by AmSouth Bank, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, NextLink and The Tennessean. Associated Press content is Copyrighted by The Associated Press.
