History
Every year since 1979, Entrepreneur has published a list of its top 500 franchise companies. The magazine also published many other lists and awards, one of the most prominent being the Entrepreneur 360 formed to identify businesses mastering the art and science of growing a business. Companies are evaluated based on the analysis of 50-plus data points organized into five pillars: Revenue and Customers, Management Efficiency, Innovation, Financial Evaluation, and Business Valuation.
In 1996, the magazine launched its website, Entrepreneur.com, which expanded to include features, contests, and other publications and spin-offs.
It is recognised as one of America's leading business publications, competing with the likes of Forbes Magazine, Fortune, and Fast Company.
Franchise 500
The Franchise 500 is an annual list compiled and published by Entrepreneur that ranks 500 of the most prominent American franchising companies through a submission and review process. The Franchise 500 first began in 1979 and has been published every year since.
Spin-offs
Entrepreneur publishes the Entrepreneur StartUps magazine, available through subscription and on newsstands.
The magazine publishes a blog managed by a dedicated online staff. It is also published in digital editions through its mobile apps.
In 1999, the website YoungEntrepreneur.com was created as a spin-off of Entrepreneur.com. It is an online forum for young entrepreneurs.
In 2010, Entrepreneur launched the website SecondAct.com, which is targeted towards an older audience. When launched, the site used advertising as its sole source of revenue.
Entrepreneur also publishes books through its Entrepreneur Press division. The company has a backlist of over 200 titles on business and entrepreneurship.
Masters of Scale
In April 2017, Reid Hoffman announced the launch of a new podcast called "Masters of Scale", with Entrepreneur magazine as its media partner. In each episode, Reid acts as the host, introducing a counterintuitive business theory and proving it out through the episode through a series of conversations with successful entrepreneurs. Masters of Scale is committed to a 50-50 gender balance.
The official podcast launched on 5 May 2017, and was featured on the Entrepreneur Magazine website, but it is now exclusively hosted at mastersofscale.com.
