The University of Georgia announced the 2026 Bulldog 100, a list of the fastest-growing businesses owned or led by UGA graduates. This class joins a list of over 900 business leaders who have been honored since the program’s first celebration in 2010.
Among this year’s class, businesses are headquartered in 10 states, with 85 of the businesses located in Georgia. In total, 140 alumni, representing industries from health care and engineering to construction and marketing, are being recognized as a part of this year’s list.
UGA Engineering alumni- and friend-run businesses named to the University of Georgia’s 2026 Bulldog 100 include:
C. Terry Hunt Industries, Inc. | Charles Hunt (BSAE ’69, MS ’73) + Joel Hunt (BSAE ’99)
Joe Powell & Associates | Chad Powell (AB ’98) + Stephanie Powell (BSED ’94, MED ’97, EDS ’99)
Joe Powell Services Inc. | Chad Powell (AB ’98) + Stephanie Powell (BSED ’94, MED ’97, EDS ’99)

Each year, Bulldog 100 applicants are measured by their business’s compounded annual growth rate during a three-year period. The Atlanta office of Warren Averett CPAs and Advisors, a Bulldog 100 partner since the program began, verified the information submitted by each company.
“The Bulldog 100 showcases the remarkable vision and resilience of our alumni,” said Corey Dortch (BSA ’03, MED ’05, PHD ’11), president of the Alumni Association Board of Directors. “Each honoree embodies the values of innovation, leadership and excellence that define the University of Georgia. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and the impact they are making across their communities and industries.”
The university will host the annual Bulldog 100 Celebration in Athens on Feb. 7, 2026, to celebrate these alumni business leaders and count down the ranked list to reveal the No. 1 fastest-growing business.
