PolicyGenius Corporate Office

Policy 3

PolicyGenius was the brainchild of two former McKinsey consultants, Francois de Lame and Jennifer Fitzgerald. Founded in 2012 and launched in 2014, PolicyGenius is an online insurance quoting platform. This platform allows for the comparison of insurance companies and rates side by side, as well as enables the user to do insurance “checkups” to see if they are not only getting the best rate but whether they also have adequate coverage. Policy 2

As McKinsey consultants, Fitzgerald and de Lame often advised insurance companies on growth and marketing. They quickly noticed a pattern: all insurance companies struggled with how to engage online with self-directed consumers. Thus, PolicyGenius was formed. The company originally planned to handle life insurance but has grown to include renters, pet, and long-term disability insurance as well.

By being a virtual online broker, the company eliminates “competition” or bias by simply stating the facts about price and benefits.

In addition to selling insurance, the company offers a comprehensive explanation as to what the terms in policies mean and exactly how they work, how much you need, what is optional and what is considered to be “the basics”.

PolicyGenius uses no-nonsense terms and a very-non-formal approach to attract a younger crowd. Co-founder Jennifer Fitzgerald says that most people seem to like the fact that they don’t have to talk to (and divulge their medical history to) a salesperson. Everything is done online, at the client’s convenience, not the insurance companies hours.

The company has 5-star reviews on almost every review site, including Consumer Affairs, TrustPilot, Financialsmural, and CashCowCouple. The Better Business Bureau also gives them 5 stars and an A+ rating. The corporate office for PolicyGenius is in New York, New York.

FT 3

Fresh Thyme Farmers Market was founded in 2012 by current CEO Chris Sherrell. Sherrell had more than 30 years in the grocery business when he saw an opportunity to put a more natural foods type of market in the mid-West, he went for it.

Turo.Com Corporate Office

Turo 2

Harvard Business School classmates Shelby Clark, Nabeel Al-Kad, and Tara Reeves were impressed by the business models they saw at Airbnb and eBay. They believed that they could accomplish something similar with cars, using the same basic peer-to-peer model. Founded in 2009, the company was originally named RelayRides. Later, the decision was made to renamed itself Turo in 2015.

Turo teamed with GM and their OnStar program to enable owners to unlock their vehicles using their smartphones. Although this was later discontinued, it was just the start for Turo to enable clients to work together.

Turo offers more than 800 makes and models of vehicles. Owners offer their cars, sometimes including delivery, in more than 2,500 cities and 300 airports across the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. Turo 4

Unlike other car rental agencies, Turo does not own the vehicles, nor does it perform maintenance. Turo simply provides the platform by which customers and car owners can connect.

People who wish to generate income from their vehicles while they’re not being used can register the cars with Turo online to be rented by other Turo members. The car owner states the time and place where the car will be available. A client wishing to rent the car reserves a specific time slot for the car online and pays for the amount of time they signed up for. Car owners can set their own prices or use Turo’s dynamic pricing suggestions. The company takes 25% of the sale. In most cases, renters pay approximately 35 percent less on average than a traditional rental car company.

Turo covers vehicles with up to $1 million of liability insurance to protect car owners against lawsuits for injuries and property damage. All renters are also screened for safety. Cars must have less than 130,000 miles and be a 2005 model or newer to be listed on the site, although there are a few exceptions allowed, such as listings for antique cars. Turo 3

In 2015, Forbes listed Turo as #14 on their list of “Hottest On-Demand Startups. Headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.

Turo is frequently given excellent reviews by both customers and on review sites. 

In November 2022, Turo announced that it would soon be in operation in Australia.

First National Bank of Omaha Corporate Office

bank 2

First National Bank of Omaha can trace its roots back to 1856, when a group of settlers crossed the Mississippi river and made camp in Nebraska. One of the group members, Thomas Davis, donated $600 in gold dust to found a new city charter; the city of Omaha. Later, two brothers, Augustus and Herman Kountze opened a bank in Omaha, appropriately named Kountze Brothers Bank. The company originally traded in gold, gold dust, and buffalo hides. bank 4

A second bank opened in 1863 and began doing business under the name of First National Bank of Omaha.

In 1913, the company opened up a separate department for women only so female clients would feel more comfortable in a business setting. Tellers were females who served their clients’ tea in a more home-like atmosphere.

The Great Depression caused more than 750 banks in Nebraska to close. First National not only met their customers demands for cash, they extended their hours and honored every withdrawal request, proving they were solvent. bank 5

In 1953, the company became the 5th bank to offer their own credit card.

In 2002 First National Bank was selected one of “America’s Best Companies for Working Mothers” according to Working Mother magazine, an honor that has been repeated annually due to on-site child development centers.

In 2003, the company was named “One of America’s Most Admired Companies” by peers at Fortune Magazine.

On February 22, 2018, the bank announced it would no longer renew its contract with the National Rifle Association as a result of customer feedback after a recent school shooting in Florida. The bank had offered special branded Visa cards to NRA members to support the group. This has resulted in a quite a bit negative criticism. bank 3

The company operates as a subsidiary of First National of Nebraska. Company headquarters is located in a 45 story skyscraper in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. bank 1

Fastrip Corporate Office

Fastrip 1

Fastrip stores began in 1968 as a small dairy farm, which offered milk, cheese, and other items from a small roadside store in Bakersfield, California. Within a few years, the company decided to open a larger store, offering more grocery items and in 1970, the company added Jaco gas pumps. Most stations simply list their gas as “Fastrip” but it comes from the locally made gas at Jaco.

fastrip 2    The company slowly expanded within the greater Bakersfield/Oildale/Rosedale area until they expanded north into the Fresno, Sacramento, and Chico areas of California. In the early 1990’s, the company headed south into Riverside, San Bernardino, and Coachella markets.

The company has now expanded into Arizona and has four locations in Bullhead City, Nogales, and Casa Grande, with more locations expected to open over the next few years.

Fastrip 3  Fastrip currently has 53 locations in California and Arizona. The company looks for underserved areas with more rural populations that don’t have easy access to gas stations or grocery stores. Most of these convenience stores are stocked with almost every item a regular grocery store would have, other than meats and produce. Almost all locations offer check cashing, m

Fastrip has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

A video went viral on Facebook after being posted in January of 2018, where an employee explained to a customer that they don’t allow the homeless inside their stores and call the police if they loiter outside. The employee was backed up by the corporate office at Fastrip stating that they don’t want their customers to feel unsafe or to be inconvenienced and that they were working with the Bakersfield Police towards a solution.

The company still has headquarters located in Bakersfield, California.
