Two Dallas-Based Businesses Earn Spot On Coveted ‘TIME100 Most Influential Companies'
Two Dallas-based businesses have earned a spot on the 'TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025' list. Colossal Biosciences and LTK were both included on the coveted list, but for very different reasons. This year's TIME100 marks the fifth year the publication has highlighted companies across six categories: Leaders, Innovators, Disrupters, Titans, Pioneers, and Impact Award recipients. Earlier this year, The Dallas Express reported that Colossal Biosciences wowed the world when it announced it brought back the dire wolf from extinction using state-of-the-art technology. The groundbreaking biotechnology firm also holds the distinction of being the first company based in Texas to be valued at more than $10 billion. TIME Magazine noted that animals long thought lost to history 'are getting a second chance, thanks to Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences.' And it is not just extinct animals that Colossal Biosciences is aiming to revive. 'Just as important, the company is using similar technology to help protect the red wolf, the Asian elephant, and other species currently clinging to life,' the profile said. LTK, a tech platform focused on helping creators and brands monetize content via shoppable links, was also recognized on the prestigious list. The app, co-founded by Amber Venz Box, is considered the largest influencer marketing platform in the world when measured by revenue. 'LTK's bread and butter is its own shopping app, revamped this year to be more video-focused. It connects 40 million plus shoppers—including 38% of U.S. Gen Z and millennial women—each month to more than 8,000 retailers, who rake in more than $5 billion in annual sales through the platform,' read the profile on the Dallas-based phenomenon. According to the company, hundreds of creators have earned $1 million or more through LTK. While it is no longer based in Dallas, another company with roots in the city was also included on TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025. Poppi, now based in Austin, is the low-sugar soda that skyrocketed to popularity in recent years. In fact, the Dallas-born soda brand was sold to beverage behemoth PepsiCo, Inc. earlier this year for nearly $2 billion.

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Time Magazine's annual 100 Most Influential Companies list for 2025 includes many companies investors are familiar with, with numerous names originating from the growing artificial intelligence sector. The list seeks to honor the top businesses that are helping "chart an essential path forward." "No single data point or financial metric makes a TIME100 Company. Instead, we looked at a mosaic of qualities, studying impact, innovation, ambition, and success, each in the forms that take shape today. And as we say for all TIME100 projects: influence comes in many forms, for better and for worse," Time editors said of the list.

This means investors can get exposure to what Time considers some of the most influential companies in the world. Some of the companies are newer to the public market, which could mean that the 50+ companies that are not yet public could be among IPOs to watch for in the second half of 2025 and beyond. Some of the most recognizable private companies on this year's list include OpenAI, Polymarket, Anthropic, Anduril, Beast Industries and SpaceX. When seeking companies that can drive revenue growth and gain customer and consumer adoption, the most influential lists can be a valuable starting point for investors.
