T ravis Boersma is a self-made American billionaire and the co-founder and executive chairman of Dutch Bros. Coffee, a popular and rapidly growing drive-thru coffee chain. He and his late brother, Dane Boersma, founded the company in 1992. The brothers, who were dairy farmers, started the business with a single pushcart in their hometown of Grants Pass, Oregon. They have since built Dutch Bros. into a massive chain with hundreds of drive-thru locations across the western United States.
Dutch Bros. is known for its high-energy, friendly culture and its extensive menu of specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, and its proprietary 'Blue Rebel' energy drink. While his brother Dane, who passed away from ALS in 2009, was the visionary behind the brand's culture, Travis has been the driving force behind its business strategy and explosive growth. He took the company public on the New York Stock Exchange in a highly successful IPO in 2021, which turned him into a billionaire. He remains the company's largest shareholder and executive chairman.
