ScotteVest Corporate Office

The ScotteVest was founded in Chicago, Illinois, by Scott Jordan in 2000. Jordan found that most jackets had only two pockets, which were not enough for all of his tech devices.

The ScotteVest is similar to a fisherman’s vest, but with more pockets, designed for holding a wide range of items, such as cell phones, small tablets, business cards, and eReaders. Some styles have 42 compartments.

Other designs incorporate flexible, detachable solar panels, designed to be used to charge gadgets, as well as seams that allow headphones to be threaded through them, preventing hanging cables from being caught on door handles or other items.

In December of 2013, the company estimated sales would hit $10 million, most of it from their website.

In January 2018, Jordan made a Facebook post stating that he advertised on Fox News because their viewers were “extremely gullible and f***ing idiots.” Jordan later removed the post.

Jordan has made new airline baggage fees a big selling point, stating that if you pack correctly, you can get by with one check on bag, your carry on, and one of his vests.

Headquarters for ScotteVest are located in Ketchum, Idaho.

Poshmark Corporate Office

Poshmark was founded by Manish Chandra, Tracy Sun, Gautam Golwala, & Chetan Pungaliya in 2011. The company operates a mobile phone app which allows users to sell their gently used items and ship them to customers anywhere in the US.

Poshmark takes a 20% commission from items sold. Sellers can have their accounts suspended or completely removed from the site if they take sales offline or to a competitor. While some people have claimed to make several thousand dollars in a single month, (with one seller hitting $1 million in sales) others say that a lack of ratings or feedback from buyers leaves clients open to fraud.

Poshmark stated in August 2018 that sellers had made a combined income of $1 billion since the app was introduced.

Currently, the app is only for US users, but that might change in the future. Company headquarters are located in Redwood City, California.

Purple Mattress Corporate Office

Brothers Tony and Terry Pearce started their own manufacturing business in 1989 making wheelchairs and carbon fiber sporting goods. Over the years, the brothers developed 23 patented items for cushioning materials, fluids, and hyper-elastic polymers used in the manufacturing of shoes, toys, and medical devices.

In 2013, they created a machine called Mattress Max, which both manufactures and molds large pieces of elastic polymers into mattresses. Thus began the creation of the Purple Mattress.

The company also makes pillows, seat cushions and back cushions for chairs and other purposes, along with adjustable beds, platforms for their mattresses, sheets, and mattress protectors.

On July 27, 2017, Purple announced a merger with Global Partner Acquisition Corp (GPAC) with a value of $1.1 billion. Purple sells mostly online, but competition is stiff. In early 2018, the company began offering their product at Mattress Firm locations.

Company headquarters for Purple are located in Alpine, Utah.

Wag Corporate Office

Wag was founded by Josh Viner in 2014 after he realized that he would love to own a dog, but had no time in his schedule to walk his pet.

Wag is a mobile phone app that matches dog walkers with people who want someone to look after their dog. The service also includes pet sitting services. Some have dubbed Wag as an “Uber” for dogs.

Numerous celebrities are known to use Wag, including Kendall Jenner, Mariah Carey, and Chloe Grace Moretz. The app currently works in 43 states and more than 100 cities, with new cities being added regularly. Clients receive a lockbox and dog walkers receive the code to the box when they sign up to walk the dog.

The company donates part of their profits to shelter’s across the US, providing food and has a partnership with Greater Good to foster dogs around the globe.

The company has come under intense scrutiny and has received scathing criticism for sloppy and potential dangerous leaks. Due to a technical glitch, Wag recently leaked clients names, addresses, and lockbox codes for anyone who viewed the site. Dogs have been “lost”, and one dog walker was seen on a client’s camera, making himself at home by watching TV, drinking beer, and slouching on the sofa.

Wag has hired a new CEO, Hilary Schneider, former LifeLock CEO, to handle the company’s booming business and increasing problems. Headquarters for the company are located in West Hollywood, California.

MeUndies Corporate Office

MeUndies was founded in 2011 by then 25-year-o9ld Jonathan Shokrian. After purchasing some underwear while on a business trip, Shokrian was unimpressed by what was supposed to be “premium” underwear. With $400,000 in start-up funds, Shokrian decided he would change how people not only purchased underwear but also improve the quality of these undergarments.

The company operates an online subscription service that offers mostly underwear for both men and women, as well as bras. Advertised as the most comfortable underwear ever, clients can change styles every month if they wish or order more if they find a style they love.

The company first advertised on a porn site and still has what some consider to be fairly racy ads, featuring gay men and plus sized women. Shokrian admits that his products are not made in the USA, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. He searched all over Los Angeles and the country for materials and a factory but was unsuccessful.

Company headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California. Shokrian says the company opened its first brick and mortar retail location at Westfield, Century City, California in 2018.
