40 Under 40 frequently asked questions
What is Crain's 40 Under 40?
An annual list of 40 people who have achieved success in business before turning 40.
What are the qualifications for 40 Under 40?
First and foremost, we are looking for professional success. We also are interested in knowing about community and non-profit service, as well as participation in trade groups, etc. The quality of the references listed is also important. CEOs, clients, lenders, high-ranking community leaders are among those who qualify as strong references. And a technical point: Those chosen must be no older than 39 on the section's publication date, which this year is June 18.
Who decides who will be in 40 Under 40?
A panel of Crain's editors and reporters.
How does the process work?
After we receive a nomination, we send a set of forms to the person who was nominated. The judges then hold a series of meetings to determine who will be chosen. We strive to come up with a diverse list that represents a broad spectrum of the industries we cover.
I was not picked for 40 Under 40. Can you tell me why?
We will not be able to tell you why you weren't picked mainly because it won't be for any one reason, but for reasons that have to do with presenting a diverse range of professions and industries.
