Published on 08/13/2024
Colorado Springs, Colorado, August 13, 2024 – Inc. revealed today that Bluestaq ranks No. 1663 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"Making the Inc. 5000 list for the third consecutive year is an incredible achievement that highlights the relentless dedication of our Bluestaq'rs. Ranking at 1663, with over 300% revenue growth in the last three years, underscores our commitment to creating technology that serves our communities and addresses their toughest obstacles," said Seth Harvey, Chief Executive Officer of Bluestaq. "Our teamwork, ownership, and curiosity empower us to tackle big challenges and push boundaries in software development. I'm immensely proud of our team's passion and innovation as we continue to make a meaningful impact. Here's to moving big rocks and having a good time while we do it!"
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
