Roku Corporate Office

Roku actually got its start from Netflix in late 2007. Netflix was about to release its own streaming service set-top box when the CEO wondered what would happen if Netflix released the box and other devices, such as DVD players or game systems, would not allow Netflix to run on their devices.

This became the idea that is now called Roku. Roku devices stream Netflix, as well as other channels and services directly to customer’s TV sets. The device has been through multiple changes, with each new update being called a “generation.” Currently, the latest model is the 7th generation, released in September 2018.

Roku is actively searching for more media companies to put their content on their platform, with a portion of the ad revenue benefiting Roku. The company already has a large number of providers that stream on Roku including Hulu, Amazon Video, PlayStation Vue, Redbox, YouTube, and Time Warner Cable.

In 2017, a Mexican court banned the sale of Roku products after Mexican TV station Televisa complained that the devices were easily hacked and allowed subscription channels to be illegally streamed. Roku made changes to their devices and the ban was lifted in late 2018.

Company headquarters are located in the same building as NetFlix, in Los Gatos, California.

BioPet Labs Corporate Office

Tom Boyd founded BioPet Labs in 2008. Boyd says he was fascinated by DNA technology but wanted to find a new way to use it. BioPet Labs has two divisions, PooPrints, and BioPet DNA.

Both divisions provide similar services. With more than 40% of people not picking up their dog’s “business”, apartment managers or HOA board members can send samples and BioPet Labs will help to identify the culprit. Cost is $70, but dog owners end up footing the bill when their dog is identified as the guilty party.

BioPet DNA testing goes beyond telling owners exactly what breed(s) their dog is/are, but identifies possible health problems that might develop. Dog breeders can assure their customers that puppies are 100% purebred by using this service.

In 2017, BioPet raked in $7 million. Headquarters are located in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Booking.Com Corporate Office

Booking.com was founded when two hotel booking sites in the Netherlands, Bookings.NL, and Bookings.org merged in 2000. The company name and URL was changed to Bookings.Com. The company is a subsidiary of Booking Holdings, which has headquarters in Connecticut.

Online travel giant Expedia was first offered the company in 2002, but they rejected the chance to acquire it. In 2005, Booking Holdings (or Priceline Group, as it was called at that time) acquired the company for $133 million.

Bookings.Com has more than 29 million listings in 143,000 + destinations in 230 countries. The website is available in 43 languages and books more than 1.5 million reservations every single day.

The Better Business Bureau profile for Booking.Com lists only 657 complaints, most of them regarding the property that was reserved. Booking.Com acts as a mediator between renters and consumers.

The website has been a favorite target of hackers, with the company stating it was breached both in 2014 and again in 2018.

In May 2018, Russia considered blocking the website in retaliation to US sanctions on Russia.

Company headquarters for the parent company are located in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Keeps.Com Corporate Office

Keeps.Com is an online subscription service that offers in-home treatment plans to prevent male pattern baldness. Founded by two former Google employees, Steven Gutentag and Demetri Karagas, the company is trying to fill in a niche market for men who are losing their hair but are unaware that there are products that can prevent hair loss when taken early.

The website offers a medical review and even a video conference with a tele-doctor if clients wish. A client’s history and current problem is reviewed by medical doctors, who prescribe a treatment plan, which is offered to clients as a subscription service.

The site currently works with doctors in 30 US states and uses a mail-order pharmacy, Eagle Pharmacy. Products might include a daily medication to be taken orally once per month or using a common topical ointment, or other products, depending on the client’s situation and history.

Keeps.Com has raised more than $7 million in funding and hopes to knock most of their competition out of the market.

Headquarters for Keeps is located in New York, New York.

My Vermont Wreaths Corporate Office

Katheryn Hackett took her hobby of making wreaths and garlands into a full-time business in 1987 when a friend, who had a mail order business, passed away. Her friend’s husband wasn’t interested in his wife’s business, so Hackett purchased the list of 700 persons and used that as a base for her business.

The company harvests the material for wreaths and garlands from local fields and forests to make their beautiful creations. At least 25% of company sales come during the Christmas holidays, with Hackett making about 1,000 wreaths in 2017.

Hackett says she likes to think about where each wreath is going and where the person might be placing it. She finds that this busy time of year, when she often works 14 hour days, keeps her “centered.” Hackett’s mother, Betsy Cooke, helps to keep the books and the mailing list, as well as pitching in cutting branches when needed.

The company has two divisions, wholesale and retail, with the wholesale business starting in November 1st. Hackett says that she offers a 100% replacement guarantee, no questions asked. In addition to wreaths and garlands, the company offers pure Vermont maple syrup and Vermont Cabot Cheese.

Company headquarters are located in E. Hardwick, Vermont.
