The Leaderboard, published semiannually by Colorado Startups, ranks the state’s fastest-growing companies using Crunchbase’s CB Rank, a measure built from employee count, funding raised, and social data. In the Q3 2026 edition, Kestrel ranked No. 1 among Colorado startups founded within the past five years and with less than $20 million in funding. We also ranked No. 14 overall among Colorado companies founded in the past decade.
Less than 18 months after we incorporated Kestrel, our name now sits beside companies that have spent years building and raised hundreds of millions of dollars. I am astonished by what this team has accomplished in that time.
Kestrel is building the first structured compliance data layer for the built environment. We transform building regulations into machine-readable intelligence that continuously reviews BIM models during design.
