9 NoCo companies on Inc. 5000 list

Nine Northern Colorado-based companies made this year’s Inc. 5000 fastest-growing list, including four each from Loveland and Fort Collins.

Madwire Media of Loveland ranked as the second-fastest growing company in the state with 5,254 percent growth from 2009 to 2012. Only Boulder-based Trada, an advertising services company, topped Madwire in Colorado.

Madwire ranked No. 52 on the nationwide list, which every year ranks the 5,000 fastest-growing privately-held companies in the country by examining three years’ worth of revenue.

Platte River Power Authority, the community-owned wholesale electricity provider for Northern Colorado, has a history of bold initiatives.

Madwire announced this month that it would expand its operations by moving into office space above the Rialto Theater Center in Loveland. Madwire has been offered $2.9 million in incentives from the state to remain in Colorado. The incentives are linked to Madwire’s ability to create 300 jobs during the next five years.
