INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - May 13, 2025 - Lifeboost Coffee is proudly celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of passionate brewing, rapid growth, and positive impact around the world. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Charles Livingston, a chiropractic physician turned coffee entrepreneur, Lifeboost began with a single premium roast and a vision to deliver the healthiest, low-acid coffee on the planet. Ten years later, the company has grown exponentially expanding from one humble offering to a broad portfolio of organic coffees and health-focused beverages all while remaining true to its core mission of quality, sustainability, and community involvement.
In just a few short years, Lifeboost’s exceptional growth earned national recognition. The company broke onto Inc. magazine’s Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies at No. 271 in 2020. By 2021 it climbed to No. 80, and in 2022 Lifeboost reached No. 29 nationwide (and No. 1 in the Midwest region) on the Inc. 5000. That same year, the Indiana Business Journal honored Lifeboost as the fastest-growing company in the Indianapolis area, with an 866% revenue increase over two years. These milestones reflect surging demand for Lifeboost’s unique approach to coffee and validate the company’s success in scaling a health-oriented brand without compromise.
Over the past decade, Lifeboost has vastly expanded its product lineup to meet customer needs and tastes. Originally known for its single-origin Central American coffee beans, Lifeboost now offers a diverse range of roasts and innovative beverages. Customers can choose from a variety of roast profiles (from light to dark) and an extensive selection of naturally flavored coffees, as well as rare exotic beans in the specialty “Luxe” line. The company also introduced low-acid decaf, cold brew blends, Keurig®-compatible pods, and even a Cognition Mushroom Coffee infused with functional mushrooms for wellness-minded sippers. Beyond coffee, Lifeboost ventured into health supplements and other drinks to enhance the “boost” in everyday life launching Health Booster products like nutrient-rich MitoCreamer® coffee creamer, a grass-fed protein blend (FitFoam), probiotic-rich Lifeboocha® instant kombucha, Vitamin D+K2 drops, adaptogenic mushroom drink mixes, and more. At the request of its community, Lifeboost even rolled out an organic tea collection in 2023, featuring blends such as Empire State Sunrise Black Tea, Crimson Hibiscus Infusion, and Snoozy Snooze herbal tea. This growth from one coffee roast to dozens of products highlights Lifeboost’s evolution into a comprehensive healthy beverage brand.
Throughout this expansion, Lifeboost Coffee has held fast to the values that defined its founding. The company is built on four core pillars: Clean, Cause, Connection, and Kindness principles that continue to guide every aspect of the business. “Clean” reflects Lifeboost’s uncompromising commitment to purity and health. All Lifeboost coffees are single-origin, shade-grown Arabica beans from small farms in the highlands of Central America, meticulously cultivated using sustainable methods. Every batch is sun-dried, spring-water washed, and third-party tested for 400+ toxins (including molds, mycotoxins, heavy metals and pesticides) to ensure each cup is as clean and stomach-friendly as possible. This rigorous quality standard means customers can enjoy rich, flavorful coffee without the jitters or acidity of typical brews.
Meanwhile, the pillars of “Cause,” “Connection,” and “Kindness” drive Lifeboost’s social and environmental initiatives. In line with its Cause pillar, Lifeboost champions environmental conservation through strategic partnerships. The company has teamed up with EcoCart to offset carbon emissions from shipping, making each online order carbon-neutral. It also supports global reforestation and wildlife protection via a partnership with the Rainforest Trust, helping to safeguard over 54 million acres of rainforest land and nearly 4,000 endangered species to date. As part of this effort, Lifeboost has even “adopted” two endangered animals a Sumatran tigress named Cinta and a Ugandan giraffe named Coffee Bean using these adoptions to raise awareness about protecting wildlife and their habitats. These eco-conscious partnerships underscore Lifeboost’s dedication to giving back to the planet that nurtures its coffee.
Equally important, Lifeboost lives out its Connection and Kindness values by investing in people from farmers to neighbors. The company has partnered with Project Alianza, a non-profit organization building schools in Central American coffee-growing regions, to support education for the children of its farming communities. In 2022, members of the Lifeboost team visited Nicaragua to meet local farmers and see firsthand how these new schools are providing kids with a safe, clean environment to learn and grow. Closer to home, Lifeboost regularly donates its coffee to first responders and community organizations in its hometown. Local firefighters, police officers, and other service members often receive surprise deliveries of Lifeboost coffee as a token of gratitude for their service. The company also takes part in neighborhood events brewing coffee for community gatherings (and even handing out candy to kids alongside cups of joe for adults) fostering connection and kindness one cup at a time.
At the heart of Lifeboost’s success is a passionate and loyal customer base. Over the last ten years, the company has sold well over one million bags of coffee, a testament to the trust and enthusiasm of health-conscious coffee lovers worldwide. In gratitude, Lifeboost launched a VIP Rewards Program in 2022 to thank its most devoted customers with exclusive perks and discounts. The team also remains highly responsive to customer feedback in 2024, Lifeboost upgraded its website and mobile app experience to make online ordering, subscriptions, and deliveries smoother and more user-friendly. Every new product line or feature has been crafted in response to customer input, ensuring that the community’s needs and values continue to shape the brand’s evolution.
With a solid foundation built over its first ten years, Lifeboost Coffee looks ahead to an even brighter future. The company plans to continue innovating new delicious, health-focused coffee products and expanding its positive impact across the globe, all while maintaining the principles of Clean, Cause, Connection, and Kindness that have defined its first decade. As Lifeboost enters its second decade in business, one thing remains clear: a cup of coffee can do more than just energize your morning it can spark a community and change lives for the better.
