LOS ANGELES, CA, May 14, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, announced today that early applications for PurposeBuilt100™, the new national recognition program honoring the 100 fastest-growing purpose-driven companies in America, are already showing strong momentum and impressive business quality.

PurposeBuilt100 will debut as the culminating showcase of SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100, a three-day, televised virtual event taking place August 25–27, 2026. The event is designed to bring together founders, investors, capital providers, sponsors and ecosystem leaders around the intersection of business growth, capital formation and measurable impact.

Based on applications received to date, the emerging applicant pool is substantial. Current applicants report average 2025 revenue of $8 million, compared with average 2021 revenue of $3.9 million, representing an average growth ratio of 206%, or 18.92% compounded annually. Some applicants have grown more than tenfold over the same period.

Applications have already arrived from companies on both coasts and from several states in between, suggesting broad national interest in recognition that connects growth, purpose and credibility.

"We launched PurposeBuilt100 because purpose-driven companies deserve a growth ranking built for them," said Devin Thorpe, CEO and Founder of The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation. "The quality of the applications we are seeing confirms the need. These are not merely admirable companies with good intentions. Many are serious, scaling businesses with real revenue, real customers and real momentum. That inherent quality is what will give the final ranking its significance."

Unlike traditional business rankings that focus primarily on revenue growth, PurposeBuilt100 is designed to recognize companies that combine measurable business expansion with meaningful social or environmental purpose. Companies applying for recognition are asked to provide revenue data for 2021 and 2025, along with information about their impact, mission and business model to determine eligibility. The final ranking will be based on revenue growth among eligible purpose-driven companies, following review by The Super Crowd, Inc.

The PurposeBuilt100 winners will be featured during the Day 3 showcase of SuperCrowd26 and profiled in a hardbound, full-color PurposeBuilt100 book designed to serve as a lasting record of the inaugural cohort. Winners will also receive recognition assets they can use in investor relations, recruiting, marketing and public relations.

Digital Niche Agency, led by founder and CEO Jason Fishman, has joined SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100 as an Impact Sponsor, supporting the launch of the new recognition platform.

"PurposeBuilt100 has the potential to become one of the most important signals in the impact business arena," said Jason Fishman, Founder and CEO of Digital Niche Agency. "Ranking the 100 fastest-growing mission-driven businesses in America is exciting because it puts growth and purpose in the same frame. We are proud to support an event that celebrates companies proving that measurable business success and meaningful impact can reinforce each other. Over time, PurposeBuilt100 can become a symbol of verifiable significance for founders, investors and partners across the impact ecosystem."

SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100 will stream globally through connected-TV and digital platforms on the e360tv Network. The three-day event will convene entrepreneurs, impact investors, crowdfunding professionals, advisors and sponsors for practical programming on capital, community and credibility, culminating in the PurposeBuilt100 Showcase.

The Super Crowd, Inc. is encouraging qualified founders and CEOs of purpose-driven companies to apply now, while applications remain open.
"Founders often underestimate the value of credible recognition," Thorpe added. "For a growing company, the right signal can help open doors to capital, partnerships, talent and customers. PurposeBuilt100 is being built to provide that signal—grounded in growth data, strengthened by purpose and amplified through media, storytelling and community."
