We are thrilled to announce that Rujo Boots, one of the standout rockets in the 2 the Moon Ventures portfolio, has officially earned a coveted spot on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America!
Why This Year’s Inc. 5000 Matters More Than Ever
Making the Inc. 5000 is no small feat, especially in today’s landscape. Over the past few years, businesses have faced economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and the ever-accelerating pace of innovation. Yet despite these headwinds, the common thread among this year’s Inc. 5000 honorees is undeniable: resilience. It’s what separates those who simply survive from those who thrive.
Built on Craftsmanship, Driven by Purpose
Rujo Boots is built on that very spirit. Since day one, they’ve been on a mission to create high-quality, handcrafted boots that combine timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort, all without the exorbitant markups that are common in the industry. It’s a brand rooted in authenticity, built for people who value quality over hype. And clearly, the market has responded.
Another Inc. 5000 Win for George Baker, Sr.
This moment is particularly meaningful because it marks yet another time 2 the Moon Ventures founder, George Baker, Sr., has led a venture to Inc. 5000 success. Many know George as the visionary founder behind ParkHub (now known as JustPark), the groundbreaking parking technology platform that earned multiple consecutive spots on the Inc. 5000 list. George’s entrepreneurial journey is one fueled by curiosity, problem-solving, and a relentless pursuit of better, whether that’s redefining the parking industry or elevating the boot game.
How Rujo Boots Became a Growth Powerhouse
With Rujo Boots, George and the Rujo team didn’t just enter the market: they disrupted it. They proved that even in industries steeped in tradition, there’s still room for innovation, transparency, and customer-first thinking. In just a few short years, they’ve grown from an idea into a national brand recognized not only for its products but for its rapid and sustainable growth.
A Testament to the 2 the Moon Ventures Philosophy

The success of Rujo Boots is more than a number on a list. It’s a reflection of what happens when great products meet great leadership, and when a team refuses to accept anything less than excellence.
