Hydrant Corporate Office

After studying biology at Oxford, John Sherwin moved to the US to get some experience in American startup companies. Sherwin was also an athlete, which he says involves being dehydrated much of the time. A combination of Sherwin’s studies and a desire to stay hydrated led to the creation of Hydrant, Inc.

Hydrant is an e-commerce company that offers single-serving packages of flavored powders specially designed to keep people hydrated through electrolytes and salts that the body loses naturally.

Hydrant Rapid Hydration comes in two versions—with or without caffeine— and right now there are four options without caffeine: the original lime, grapefruit and blood orange, or a variety. There are three flavors with caffeine. Hydrant mostly sells through its website and Amazon, but the products are also available at 47 Whole Foods Market stores. It plans to announce new retail partners in the coming months, Kim said.

Hydrant is disrupting the sports drink industry with all-natural ingredients that contains about 80 percent less sugar than the typical sports drink.

In early May 2020, the company raised $5.7 million in Series A funding.

Hydrant has headquarters in New York, New York.

Tuft and Needle Corporate Office

Tuft and Needle was founded in 2012 as an e-commerce and mattress manufacturing company by Daehee Park and John-Thomas Marino. After Marino and his wife overpaid for a mattress that they didn’t find comfortable, they spoke with friend Daehee Park about starting their own mattress company.

The pair pitched in $3K apiece to fund their startup company. By the end of 2013, the company had already generated over $1 million in sales. A brick and mortar store was experimented with by using the downstairs portion of the corporate office in Phoenix. Mattresses could be seen, inspected, and purchased by appointment only. Today, the company has 6 store locations.

By the end of 2015, the company had more than 100 employees and exceeded $100 million in revenue. Park and Marino took out a $500,000 loan in 2016 to launch a billboard campaign entitled “Mattress Stores are Greedy” By the end of 2017, the company had more than $170 million in revenue.

Serta acquired Tuft and Needle in September 2018. In November, the company paired with Amazon to sell an Amazon exclusive mattress called The Nod.

The company revealed in late 2019 that it had accidentally placed customers’ names, addresses, and phone numbers on an unsecured server that printed shipping labels. No financial information was released.

In March 2020, Tuft and Needle closed all 6 store locations and fired all store location staffing due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent quarantine.

Boll and Branch Corporate Office

Scott Tannen and his wife Missy started Boll and Branch in January 2014. While neither one had experience in textiles, this pair wanted to create top of the line bedding products.

The Tannen’s knew that most bedding is made in sweatshops overseas, and this is something they wanted to avoid. Not having experience in textiles allowed them to start from scratch.

The company didn’t advertise for the first 18 months, but once media sites like the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune began writing and doing interviews, demand for company products has been tremendous.

Boll and Branch offer luxury, high-quality bedding, towels, and mattresses. All products are organic and are certified by Fair Trade USA.

The company was self-funded and has an estimated annual revenue of $100 million. Products are made in Kolkata, India, with the cotton being grown in Orissa, India.

In October 2016, the company introduced flannel sheets manufactured in Guimaraes, Portugal, and in 2018, a line of ethically produced down pillows.

Mattresses that the company sells aren’t the typical memory foam, but are made from wool, organic cotton, and coil springs.

In April 2020, the company announced that it was donating 10 percent from each sale to the production of mattresses and pillows for popup hospitals dealing with the coronavirus.

While the majority of the company was started with the founder’s own cash, the company received $100 million in additional startup funding in August 2019.

Keepsake Frames Corporate Office

After his wedding, Adam Weiss realized that he had dozens of terrific pictures but they were “lost” within the hundreds of other photos he had on his phone.

Weiss created Keepsake Frames, a mobile phone app that allows people to send the photo they want to be framed, choose a frame, and the size they want, all from their phone.

Keepsake Frames also offers shipping to friends or relatives, and gift cards can also be ordered on the site or on the website.

Keepsake Frames come in a variety of sizes and are handmade from quality metal or wood, manufactured right in the USA. Prints can even be ordered on canvas, for a look like no other.

In May 2019, NYMAG, the online magazine, rated Keepsake Frames as the best online framing service they used.

While frames can be hung on the wall, or placed on a table, the stand for tabletop use is not the typical type of stand and there have been complaints about the device used to hold the frame falls out whenever the photo is moved.
