The Fastest Growing Startups in Colorado
The Leaderboard showcases the fastest-growing companies in Colorado semiannually. The initiative is a way to recognize the top startups and their founders. Unlike other company lists, which are often subjective, this board uses company data (employee count, funding amount, etc.) to determine rankings.
The Leaderboard uses Crunchbase’s “CB Rank” metric calculated using employee count, funding raised, and social data. These Rank scores are then used to list the 20 fastest-growing companies in Colorado. If any information appears incorrect, please update the company profile on Crunchbase directly.
Based on community feedback, we've added a "Diversity Spotlight" (via Crunchbase) column to highlight and track diversity in our startup community.

From the results, it's clear. Colorado has more fast-growing companies than ever in the state's history! Congratulations to the entrepreneurs and team members fueling these growth companies.
As for Venture Capital ("VC"), from analyzing The Leaderboard, there is a lack of growth VC firms ($100M+ in deployable capital) based or headquartered in Colorado. From the Crunchbase data, 90%+ of the investment capital in the growth companies on the Leaderboard came from VC firms outside the state.
As a startup community dedicated to continuous growth, we ask that all community members highlight the companies building here and recruit $100M+ VC firms to open primary or secondary headquarters in Colorado. Show them this Leaderboard and let them know the next BIG companies of tomorrow are based here.
