Equiturn Business Solutions, headquartered in Dania Beach, Florida, has earned the No. 1 spot on the 2025 Seminole 100 list of the fastest-growing businesses owned or led by Florida State University alumni.
The No. 1 business was celebrated on Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center in Tallahassee during the eighth annual Seminole 100 Celebration.
Equiturn Business Solutions is a global investment banking firm that empowers visionary leaders and organizations through cutting-edge advisory, regulated financial services and tailored wealth management solutions designed to drive growth and innovation.
Since its founding in 2017, the company has partnered with more than 500 businesses, with 90% of clients reporting significant expansion within their first year.
“We are proud to celebrate the accomplishments of our outstanding alumni,” FSU President Richard McCullough said. “Their innovative products, services and solutions drive economic growth and strengthen our communities. They embody the entrepreneurial spirit of Florida State University and serve as an inspiration to future generations of leaders and innovators.”
Each year, FSU honors its top 100 alumni entrepreneurs through Seminole 100, where honorees discover their individual rankings and receive their awards while networking with fellow business leaders.
Seminole 100 companies were ranked by the global financial services firm EY, which verified the information provided and ranked the companies based on their compound annual growth rate over the past three years.
During the event, guests heard from keynote speaker and FSU alumnus John “JD” Doughney, a seasoned global marketing and sales executive and lecturer at Kennesaw State University’s Coles College of Business. Doughney earned dual bachelor’s degrees in communication and political science (2002) and a master’s degree in integrated marketing communication (2003) from Florida State University.
This year’s honorees represent diverse industries, including energy, technology, law, marketing and retail. Of the 100 businesses recognized, 79 are based in Florida, and 14 states across the country are represented, demonstrating the reach and impact of FSU alumni nationwide.
