NGL Collective named once again “Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America” by Entrepreneur
October 29, 2019
NGL Collective was once again recognized as one of the “Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America” by Entrepreneur magazine’s Entrepreneur360™ List, a premier study delivering the most comprehensive analysis of private companies in America. Based on this study forged by Entrepreneur, NGL Collective is recognized as a well-rounded company that has mastered a balance of impact, innovation, growth leadership and value.
“It’s a huge honor for NGL Collective to have made the highly competitive Entrepreneur360™ List for the second year in a row climbing up 45 spots year over year. As the leading independent Latinx media and entertainment company, it’s particularly gratifying to be representing our industry and the Latinx community as a whole,” said David Chitel, CEO & Founder of NGL Collective.
“Every entrepreneur knows that a healthy business isn’t just about growth. It’s about being well-rounded—growing your culture and your systems as strongly as you grow your revenue,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur Magazine. “That’s why we’re excited to celebrate these companies with our fifth annual Entrepreneur360 List. The companies that make the list have pushed boundaries with their innovative ideas, fostered strong company cultures, impacted their communities for the better, strengthened their brand, and grown impressively as a result.”
Co-founded by actor, John Leguizamo, NGL Collective is a pioneer of new media and entertainment connecting advertisers and the New Gen Latinx audience through video across platforms in-language, in-culture and in-context. Long before it was considered the norm to connect with the bilingual and bicultural Latinx audience, NGL was at the forefront of leading the conversation and blazing a trail for many who have since followed. The term “New Generation Latinx” or “NGL,” was coined by Chitel and his closest industry colleagues nearly two decades ago and has stood the test of time above all others. NGL Collective reflects the evolution of the U.S Latinx audience, and the progressive ways in which they’re consuming media, content and the advertising that surrounds it all.
Honorees were identified based on the results from a comprehensive study of independently-owned companies, using a proprietary algorithm and other advanced analytics. The algorithm was built on a balanced scorecard designed to measure five metrics reflecting major pillars of entrepreneurship—innovation, growth, leadership, impact and business valuation.
