Colorado CBD maker Charlotte’s Web and four other cannabis companies have been chosen to Inc. magazine’s list of the top 250 best-led companies.
Chicago-based Cresco Labs ranked 74th, Massachusetts-headquartered Curaleaf Holdings was slotted at 139th, Arizona’s 4Front Ventures came in at 193rd, Charlotte’s Web at 207th and Ayr Wellness 244th.
To compile the list, business-media brand Inc. evaluated public and private U.S.-based companies with a 2020 revenue of $50 million to $2 billion or a valuation of $50 million to $10 billion.
Inc. said this is the first time it has honored both public and private companies.
Companies had to apply to be considered for the list, then were evaluated in four areas:
- Performance and value creation.
- Market penetration and customer engagement.
- Talent.
- Leadership team.
