The University of Texas at Arlington's (UTA) College of Business recently hosted its annual MAVS100 ceremony, a prestigious event that celebrates the achievements of the fastest-growing businesses led by UTA alumni. The ceremony recognizes the top 100 Maverick-run companies that have made significant impacts on North Texas, the State of Texas, and the regions they serve.
The MAVS100 event is more than just an awards ceremony—it's a recognition of entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and leadership. The businesses featured in this event come from a wide range of industries, but all share a common thread: their leadership by UTA alumni who are not only excelling in their fields but are also making a lasting, positive impact on their communities.
A Tribute to Maverick Excellence
The MAVS100 was established by UTA’s College of Business as a way to spotlight and honor the success of alumni who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in business. By shining a light on these top performers, the event serves as a reminder of the important role UTA graduates play in shaping the economic and social landscape of North Texas and beyond.
"These 100 businesses represent the best of what it means to be a Maverick: hard work, resilience, and a commitment to community,” said a representative from the College of Business. “Our alumni have built and sustained enterprises that not only generate jobs but also enrich the regions in which they operate."
Celebrating Outstanding Growth
All firms and businesses represented at this year's MAVS100 collectively generated an impressive $782 million in revenue, with the top 30 alone contributing $492 million. Each of the 100 businesses was ranked based on their revenue, underscoring the incredible growth and success achieved by these Maverick-led companies.
"The success of these businesses demonstrates the entrepreneurial spirit of UTA alumni and the vital role they play in the economy," said the College of Business representative. "It’s remarkable to see how these companies are not only thriving but actively contributing to the prosperity of the state and beyond."
Supporting Alumni, Strengthening Communities
The MAVS100 also highlights the College of Business’s ongoing commitment to its alumni and their continued success. By showcasing these businesses, the ceremony provides an opportunity for networking and collaboration, further strengthening the ties between UTA and the growing business community.
The event serves as an invaluable resource for current students as well. For aspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders, seeing their fellow Mavericks succeed at the highest levels offers both inspiration and practical insight into the paths they may one day take.
Honoring Type Six Design and Development
This year, Type Six Design and Development is honored to be included among the MAVS100 businesses. Their inclusion is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and innovation that define their business, and they join an elite group of Maverick-led businesses that are making a significant impact on the world.
Looking Toward the Future
As the MAVS100 continues to grow, so too does the impact of UTA’s alumni on the economy and local communities. The event serves as a testament to the power of a UTA education and the incredible achievements of its graduates. Whether they’re based in North Texas, expanding across the state, or influencing industries on a national scale, the Maverick-run businesses recognized at the MAVS100 are truly a force to be reckoned with.
The UTA College of Business hosts the MAVS100 event every year to honor and celebrate the success of UTA alumni. MAVS100 brings alumni business leaders together to highlight the importance of their work to our community and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
