A Denver-based energy company is the fastest-growing private firm in the state, according to Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 5000.
Crusoe Energy grabbed the No. 49 spot, the highest ranking among the 133 Colorado firms that made the list.
The 5-year-old company, founded by Chase Lochmiller and Cully Cavness, converts wasted fuel into electricity that’s used to power computer systems that mine bitcoin. It reported 2022 revenue was up 8,148 percent in three years.
Nabbing Colorado’s second spot at No. 97 is Blazy Susan, a cannabis accessory brand known for its pink products. Founded by William Breakell in 2017, the company reported 4,811 percent growth from three years prior.
The list released last week included 107 businesses from the Denver metro area. Eighty-two of the Colorado companies had previously made the list.
