Revenue figures are voluntarily self-reported. Still, it is considered a respectable list — “something people pay attention to,” said UW-Madison School of Business associate professor Jim Seward.
“The types of technologies that they’re involved in and new hiring that goes on at these — collectively, it’s a big deal,” Seward said.
