Ibotta, Inc., the Denver-based technology company, completed its successful initial public offering (IPO) on April 18, 2024, the largest tech IPO in Colorado history, under the leadership of Bryan Leach, a Marshall Scholar from the class of 2000. Ibotta has demonstrated innovation, resilience, and a commitment to enhancing the consumer experience.

"We congratulate Bryan Leach and his team for the successful initial public offering of Ibotta,” said Nell Breyer, Executive Director of the Association of Marshall Scholars. “Americans have been rebated approximately $1.8 billion through the Ibotta Performance Network since 2012. Bryan's company joins the ranks of several Marshall Scholar-founded enterprises - such as Dolby, LinkedIn, and Guidewire - which harness engineering and technological advances to improve the experience of consumers and our daily lives." 

Many Marshall Scholars have played integral roles in Ibotta's success story, generously supporting Bryan's vision from its earliest days. Their investment and expertise have driven Ibotta's growth and shaped its trajectory in the competitive tech landscape.

"Ibotta's successful IPO is a testament to the dedication, vision, and hard work of Bryan Leach and his team,” said Scott Grinsell, President of the Association of Marshall Scholars. “Bryan’s work as an entrepreneur embodies the values of excellence, leadership, and service central to the Marshall Scholarship. We wish Bryan and the Ibotta team continued success as they build on this important milestone.”

Ibotta, a leading rewards platform that offers cash back on everyday purchases, has entered a new phase of growth with its IPO, marking a significant milestone in the company's journey. Founded in 2011, the company has rapidly become one of the most prominent names in the tech industry, revolutionizing how consumers save money while shopping. 

As a Marshall Scholar, Bryan Leach studied Economic and Social History at the University of Oxford’s Magdalen College.
