The Rochester Top 100, now in its 26th year, ranks privately held companies based on three most recent years of revenue growth. Companies must have at least $1 million in revenue for each of those years, and rankings take into account both dollar and percentage growth.
Companies in the Rochester Top 100 nominate themselves. 182 companies self-nominated last year and only 165 did in 2010, according to KPMG. This year, 225 companies felt good enough about their situations to self-nominate. Sixty more companies in the region feel better than they did two years ago.
