For investments to qualify, portfolio company founders must have remained actively involved in their business for at least one-year post-investment. WindRose paid a fee to Inc. for submitting an entry. Inc. compiled its list by directly surveying entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity and venture capital firms and worked with lenders.
