The Rochester Top 100 is an annual list of the fastest growing privately held companies in the Rochester, New York region. It is published by the Rochester Business Alliance, a regional chamber of commerce whose members include area companies such as Bausch & Lomb, Constellation Brands, Eastman Kodak, Genesee Brewing Company, and Xerox.[1] The 2011 list marked the 25th anniversary of the Rochester Top 100.[2]

In 2011, 10 companies in the Rochester Top 100 were owned by women, four were owned by minorities.[3] The number of companies in the Rochester Top 100 devoted to manufacturing doubled in 2011, to 22 from just 11 in 2010.[4]
