Congratulations to our 20 COSSPP alumni, and all of FSU’s 2023 Seminole 100 honorees, recognized for being among the fastest-growing, innovative, and profitable businesses owned or managed by FSU alumni.
“The outstanding alumni who own or lead these fast-growing businesses embody the entrepreneurial spirit that thrives at Florida State University,” said President Richard McCullough. “Their accomplishments reflect well on FSU and inspire a new generation of innovators and business leaders. We’re thrilled to celebrate their success.”
The FSU Seminole 100 is powered by the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship in partnership with the FSU Alumni Association. Honorees and their businesses will be celebrated on Saturday, February 25, 2023, at the Student Union.
