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.

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 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.
