The timeline is determined by Forbes’ editorial calendar each year, but the submission process kicks off with an email inviting interested parties to submit. The submission portal is open for several weeks in order to allow companies plenty of time to complete their submission. If you’d like to be added to the email list to receive notification when submissions open, please email us at nextbill@truebridgecapital.com.
All information shared in submissions is secure and completely confidential. Data is submitted directly to TrueBridge in order to allow a third party to receive and analyze the data on behalf of Forbes. We understand how critically important and sensitive this data is, and have measures in place to ensure its security and confidentiality. We do not share any data with any parties (even Forbes) without your explicit consent.
Once you submit, you will receive an emailed copy of your submission. TrueBridge or Forbes may contact you for additional information.
No. This is an opportunity to showcase new startups each year.
Forbes will reach out to selected companies to discuss information. As Forbes does not have access to your submitted data, they can only publish information that you provide them. In the past, they have published estimated revenues numbers with the consent of each company.
Your company will be notified once the list is published; however, Forbes may choose to reach out in advance if they decide to write a featured article on your company.
