Important Notice: Book of Lists Surveying**

In Business magazine is currently surveying Dane County companies for the 2024 Book of Lists, which comes out in December. We have streamlined the process this year through our research director, Alaine Keisling. If your company has regularly been included in the Book of Lists but you have not heard from us yet, please reach out to her at alaine@ibmadison.com. We are confident this new process will improve the accuracy of our industry lists well into the future.

**Excludes banks (FDIC), credit unions (NCUA), SBA lenders (SBA.gov), residential real estate (SCWMLS), and venture & angel investors (Wisconsin Technology Council) lists whose data are collected from other sources (in parentheses).
