Entrepreneur 100

Our annual listing of the top 100 Latino Entrepreneurs returns with some new names and some familiar ones. We began our search by looking at companies with at least $10 million in annual revenues that were at least 50 percent Hispanic-owned. From those companies, the ones with the largest growth in revenues from 2005 to 2006 were selected for the E100.
Latinos businesses are growing. According to the U.S. Census, Latino-owned businesses averaged three times the national growth rate for all businesses between 1997 and 2002.

We present this list of 100 entrepreneurs who continue the trend.
