Duolingo Corporate Office

Luis Von Ahn, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and his graduate student Severin Hacker wanted to create an app that would serve double duty, teach a foreign language and translate simple phrases. Duolingo was created in 2011 in beta form and released to the public in 2012.

Duolingo is a language learning platform and mobile app that allows users to slowly learn the basics of a new language. As of November 2019, the language-learning website and app offer 94 different language courses in 23 languages. In August 2018, the company had more than 300 million registered users around the world. The app has a free version supported by advertisers or a paid version that is ad-free.

Duolingo’s fastest-growing language is the Scottish language Gaelic. Although the language was just added in early December 2019, in less than one month, users have reached 127,000.

The company has it’s critics, with a Forbes interviewing noting that, even after using Duolingo to learn Spanish for 6 months, the CFO of the company was confused by the basic phrase of “Hablas Espanol?” ( Do you speak Spanish?).

The corporate office for Duolingo is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Away Luggage Corporate Office

Former colleagues Jennifer Rubio and Stephanie Korey, who had worked on the executive team at Warby Parker, founded Away in 2015. The pair wanted to create luggage that was easier, especially for women, that had everything frequent travelers would appreciate, such as USB ports.

The company grew quickly, selling more than $12 million in luggage in 2016, its first full fiscal year. The following year, with more than $50 million in sales, the company had to hire an additional 60 persons to handle the load.

To date, the company has sold more than 300,000 suitcases and is the highest funded, all-female start-up projects. The majority of sales occur online, but the company does have 4 brick and mortar locations in the US, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Austin. The company recently opened a store in London as the company’s flagship store in the UK.

The carry on bag is the company’s most sought after piece, with celebrities posting photos of their bags on Instagram and the popular app SnapChat.

Online site The Verge posted an interview in December 2019 with Stephanie Korey, where she described her own workplace as being “toxic” and where employees were publically ridiculed on Stack. Korey apologized several times calling her words “simply wrong”, but the outcry was so strong, Korey resigned as CEO in late December 2019.

Levelset Corporate Office

Scott Wolfe was working at his family’s construction business in 2005 after Katrina hit New Orleans. The inefficient manners used to get paid, as well as the delays and numerous requests to demand payment, were exhausting. Wolfe decided to create a more efficient payment platform. Originally named Zlein, Levelset was born in 2006.

The payment platform allows contractors to get paid faster. The average wait for payments in the construction industry is 83 days. This SaS platform cuts that time in half for most companies.

The company raised $30 million at the end of 2019 through Horizons Ventures.

Headquarters for Levelset remain in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Boxed Corporate Office

Friends since childhood,  Chieh Huang, Christopher Cheung, and William Fong, along with Jared Yaman, came up with the idea of starting a mobile app for wholesale products in bulk, without the costly membership fees such as Costco.

The company began its business in 2013 and began shipping out of Huang’s garage. In 2014, Express was launched. This service is an on-demand grocery delivery service that was available in New York, New Jersey, and Boston. Customers picked their groceries, including fresh fruit and vegetables, then chose a day and time for delivery.

n June 2015, Boxed launched its premium private brand Prince & Spring. Many customers wonder what is the difference between Amazon and Boxed or Costco and Boxed? CNBC comparison shopped Costco and Boxed in April 2019. After comparing prices on 26 basic items, CNBC says that Costco came out to be less expensive.

The company partnered with Lidl in May 2019 to provide customers with fresh produce and other grocery products. Boxed also partnered with Century 21 stores (not the real estate company) in August 2019, to provide customers with designer brand clothing, something that Millenials have an interest in.
