Atom Tickets Corporate Office

Atom Tickets was founded in 2014 by friends Matthew Bakal and Ameesh Paleja, two movie lovers who were frustrated that it wasn’t easier to get together with friends and see a movie without some major planning.

This pair created a mobile app which allows users to notify friends quickly about an upcoming movie, buy tickets online, even purchase your concession items at a discount, all from the comfort of wherever you are.

With theaters experiencing major losses due to lack of customers, Atom tickets is betting that moviegoers will want to return to theaters if you make things more convenient for them.

The company began in a few select locations, then went nationwide, as well as internationally by expanding into Canada, in 2016.

Television viewers are familiar with this ad, which has been placed in many prime time locations.

The founders feel that young viewers (under 25) are turning away from theaters and need something different to attract them.

The company has stated in interviews that they might expand this model to include dining out, reservations, group sales, and advanced concession sales at other venues, such as sporting events.

In June 2018, the company launched a free ticket reward program for their users in competition with Fandango.

Company headquarters are currently located in Santa Monica, California.

ThumbTack Corporate Office

Thumbtack was founded by several friends who wondered why it was so hard to hire people to do projects or teach them things? In the world of high-tech everything, why did it take up an entire Saturday to call, interview, get estimates, and meet with professionals? Knowing there had to be a better way, this group of entrepreneurs decided that they would create a site that they would use themselves!

The company is an online marketplace which matches professionals to customers. Similar to Angie’s List and HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack offers home repairs, handyman jobs, and painting professionals. Unlike other sites, however, Thumbtack also offers categories and services such as dog training, singing lessons, personal trainers, and DJ’s. Thumbtack states that they have more than 1,000 different types of services available.

The service is free for clients and charges a small fee to professionals who bid on requests for service.

In 2014, Google Capital invested $100 million in the company.

CouchSurfing Corporate Office

Couchsurfing was originally thought of by Casey Fenton in 1999. After finding a cheap flight to Iceland, Fenton did not want to stay at a typical hotel. He received more than 100 offers of a room to stay in after emailing more than 1500 University of Iceland students.

Today, Couchsurfing is a for profit corporation offering a social networking site, as well as being a hospitality website. The platform can be used by members to stay as a guest at someone’s home (called homestay), host travelers, meet other members, or join an event. Unlike many hospitality services, Couchsurfing is an example of what has come to be known as “gift economy”; there is no monetary exchange between members and there is no expectation by hosts for future rewards or homestays.

Currently, the company boasts more than 15 million users in approximately 200,000 cities. Serious crimes have been committed against people using this service, although the company states that they are insignificant when you consider the vast number of people using the site. Headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.

CarGurus.Com Corporate Office

Cargurus was founded in 2006 by former TripAdvisor co-founder Langley Steinert. The company began as an online community blog where users could post reviews and experiences about dealers, repair shops, as well as the pros and cons of certain cars. After car dealers expressed an interest in advertising, the focus shifted to listing dealer inventories online.

The company operates an online automotive marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of new and used cars worldwide. The company uses algorithms to analyze and compare prices and features on cars for sale. Users can input data as to what they are searching for, how far they are willing to travel, the amount they can spend and more. This will provide users with a list of cars from dealers.

Cargurus.Com is traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: CARG. As of 2017, the company says it has more than 40,000 active car dealers with more than 5.4 million car listings.

During the coronavirus pandemic of 2020-2022, CarGurus found that its business thrived.
