Entrepreneur and CultureIQ Are Searching for the Top Company Cultures We're looking for companies that instill a high-performance culture in the workplace. Think you've got what it takes to make our list?

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Update: The application window for the 2015 list has closed.

We have teamed up with CultureIQ, a business providing company culture-management software, to bring you our first-annual Top Company Cultures list.

We are looking for companies that instill a high-performance culture in the workplace. These environments encourage employees' growth and development, outperform competitors, provide mentorship opportunities, exceed expectations and get results. (And no, ping-pong tables, bourbon hours and nap pods won't cut it.)

Not only will your company have a chance to shine on our list and receive recognition (and bragging rights) but your business will also be part of an exclusive group: the Entrepreneur community. Your company will be attached to the largest entrepreneurial platform of its kind, plus may have the opportunity to be featured in follow-up posts and contribute to the online publication.

The submission is completely free but CultureIQ does provide additional features for a fee (this will not affect your scoring or ranking).

Requirements:

  • Company must have at least 25 employees
  • Company must have been founded before Jan. 1, 2014
  • Company must be headquartered in the United States of America
  • Primary contact must use their company email address to sign up

The list will be published this fall and the application process will close on Aug. 30.
