Little Saints Named No. 103 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List, Ranking Among America’s Fastest-Growing Companies

With over five million beverages sold and 100%+ year-over-year growth, the functional non-alcoholic cocktail brand ranks No. 103 on this year’s list.

Miami, FL — August 11, 2026 — Little Saints, the non-alcoholic cocktail and spirits brand founded and led by CEO Megan Klein, has been named No. 103 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, with 53% revenue growth from 2024 to 2025. This marks a huge milestone, as it’s the first year an adaptogenic NA spirits brand has made the list.

For Klein, the recognition caps off one of the more unconventional founder journeys in the beverage industry. An environmental lawyer turned vertical-farming entrepreneur, she launched Little Saints in 2021, self-funded the company through its first year, and built it into a digitally native brand before appearing on the Season 16 premiere of Shark Tank. She declined the Sharks’ offers and bet on her own valuation, which has since been vindicated by the company’s growth.

“I started Little Saints because I loved cocktails and hated hangovers, and nothing on the shelf captured the magic of a real drink. Making the Inc. 5000 five years in is proof that non-alcoholic isn’t a trend. It’s a structural shift in how America drinks. And we’re just getting started.”

Under Klein’s leadership, Little Saints has become one of the defining brands in functional NA. In the past year alone, the company launched St. Oak—named Best NA Spirit of 2025 by BevNet and now its best-seller—expanded into 120 ABC Fine Wine & Spirits locations across Florida, entered a new partnership with mission-driven retailer The Good Pour, and grew its on-premise presence across bars and restaurants nationwide, following its national launch at Sprouts in 2024 and Whole Foods in California and Florida.

The Inc. 5000 ranks companies by percentage revenue growth over a three-year period.
