MBE Spotlight – Jeremy Miller

Coravant Closes the Gap Between Buying Technology and Getting Results

Companies spend heavily on powerful technology. Then they wait. The tools sit somewhere between strategy and production, the project team moves on, and the business still can’t point to a result it can measure. Jeremy Miller watched that pattern play out for 30 years. He built Coravant to end it.

Coravant is a Colorado-based, certified Minority Business Enterprise with Mountain Plains MSDC  and a veteran-owned, that helps organizations put their technology investments to work. Its tagline says it plainly: we operationalize innovation.

A Seed Planted at Age Seven

Jeremy’s path to entrepreneurship started long before his career in tech. When he was seven, his grandfather told him he was registered with the Cherokee tribe. Jeremy had questions, and the answers stayed with him. His grandfather was the first in the family to leave the reservation. His father was the first to go to college. And his grandfather hoped Jeremy would be the first to own a business.

“He planted this seed in me a long time ago that it would be awesome if I was the first to have a business in the family.”

At the time, Jeremy wanted to be a dentist. Instead, he served about ten years in the U.S. Air Force, on active duty and in the Air National Guard, and went on to spend three decades in the service provider industry specializing in cloud, network, and security technologies. An early pioneer of multi-tenant application hosting, he built a track record of securing multinational accounts, driving revenue growth, and building high-performing sales teams.

Today, Jeremy is a member of the Shawnee and Cherokee tribes and a decorated Air Force veteran. Both shape how he leads: mission first, take care of your people, and remember who came before you.

Built From the Customer Side

Coravant’s three founders had worked together at multiple companies and spent most of their careers on the customer side of technology. They saw the difference between partners who moved the business forward and partners who never delivered on the promise. Coravant calls that space the capability gap: the distance between a company’s strategy and its execution.

Coravant closes it by doing the whole job under one roof. The team advises, resells, builds, and runs solutions across eight practice areas: AI and data intelligence, security, cloud, infrastructure and datacenter modernization, observability, FinOps, automation, and customer experience. With more than 2,000 technology partners, including CrowdStrike, Cisco, and Dell, Coravant recommends what fits a client’s environment and budget instead of pushing a single product.

“We’ll tell you the truth about your environment, even when the right answer means you buy less from us.”

Coravant supports large enterprises across service providers, financial services, media and entertainment, gaming, professional sports, and restaurant and hospitality. On average, Coravant engagements save customers about 20%.

One Contract, Then Twenty Business Units

The defining moment came in 2023. Coravant, still a small team, bid on a hardware refresh for one of the largest service providers in the country. Winning meant building the capability to deliver at that scale. They went all in.

That single project grew into work across roughly 20 of the provider’s business units, spanning infrastructure, security, observability, and FinOps. The FinOps engagement alone delivers more than $1 million in recurring annual savings. Those business units now serve as references, and their word of mouth opens doors with new clients.

The results are hard to miss. Coravant ranked #57 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, #3 in Colorado, and #2 in services, with 4,692% three-year growth. The team has grown from 11 to 52 people since 2023. Jeremy admits the number surprised him. The team had been so focused on delivery that no one had stopped to calculate it.

“We realized, one, that we weren’t celebrating enough wins as a team, but two, we were super proud of what we had accomplished together.”

Certification Opens the Door

Early on, Jeremy underestimated the importance of a brand. Even longtime relationships wanted to see a company and a team behind him before trusting the new venture. Certification helped fast-track that trust.

As a certified MBE through Mountain Plains MSDC and NMSDC, a certified veteran-owned business through NVBDC, and a certified supplier with the California Public Utilities Commission, Coravant gained introductions to supplier diversity leaders, procurement teams, and technology executives at major corporations. Those introductions helped the company build more than 20 master service agreements. Coravant is also part of the Denver Broncos Small Business Partner Program and the Bridge Entrepreneur Network.

Give First

Starting a business as the world was coming out of COVID wasn’t easy. What keeps Jeremy grounded is Coravant Cares, the company’s community program. Through partners like Hope Ignites, Coravant bridges the gap between education and experience for young technologists, placing them on real projects at major companies. All 18 early-career professionals placed so far are still with Coravant or were hired by the customer.

“You’re not just building a company to make money. You’re actually opening doors for people who may or may not have had those opportunities.”

Jeremy credits a principle from Colorado’s startup community, coined by Techstars cofounder David Cohen, for carrying him through the tough weeks: give first.

Advice for Minority Entrepreneurs

Go deep before you go wide. Jeremy’s rule of thumb: if 100 people say they’ll support you, expect about two to follow through. Lean into every opportunity you’re given, over-deliver, and turn those customers into evangelists. Their voice carries further than yours.

Build capability before the contract. When the door opens, it doesn’t stay open long.

“Make sure you can say yes if the customer is asking if you can start on Monday, because that window of opportunity closes really quick.”

What’s Next for Coravant

Coravant is growing its accounts across the states it serves, expanding its AI practice, and building its presence with Colorado mid-market companies. The company is also growing its team and developing early-career talent through Coravant Cares and a new internship program.

Jeremy is looking for introductions to technology leaders with an active initiative: modernizing infrastructure, putting AI into production, closing a security gap, or getting cloud spend under control. Coravant also welcomes teaming with larger integrators and other certified diverse suppliers.

Asked to describe Coravant in one word, Jeremy chose accountable. Given the track record, it fits.
