For the second year in a row, a Denver-based insulated drinkware company was the top Colorado company on Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

Brumate nabbed the No. 71 spot, the highest ranking among the 163 Colorado firms that made the list.

The company, founded in 2015 by 26-year-old Dylan Jacob and featured in Forbes magazine last year, sells insulated can coolers, tumblers and drinkware. It reported that 2020 revenue increased 5,320 percent from three years prior. Last year, BruMate ranked No. 14 on the list.

The list released Tuesday included 112 businesses from Denver.

Ranking on the Inc. 5000 list is determined by percent of revenue growth over a three-year period. Companies must apply to be included, self-report their revenue figures, and have had revenue of at least $100,000 in 2017 and $2 million in 2020.

Revenues from last year are no longer publicly available on the list, as they have been in the past.
