Floyd Home Furniture Corporate Office

Floyd Home Furniture was founded in 2014 by Kyle Hoff and Alex O’Dell. This pair of entrepreneurs began business by selling a single item- the Floyd Leg, a clamp stand that turned any flat surface into a table.

Soon the company expanded with the Floyd Bed and then the Floyd Sofa.

Hoff and O’Dell knew that most furniture companies today use the same basic design and mass-produce furniture with lots of waste involved. These businessmen wanted to revolutionize the industry by using simple designs that never go out of style and using high-quality materials so the furniture will last.

Hoff notes that the company keeps parts in stock, so if a leg should break off the sofa, you can buy a single leg and repair it. This is something no other furniture company does.

There are numerous reviews of the company’s products, the majority of them good. Even companies like Gear Patrol call some of Floyd’s pieces “the most exciting pieces of furniture”.

Floyd Home Furniture maintains a corporate office in Detroit, Michigan.

WildTangent Corporate Office

Wild Tangent was founded in 1998 by Alex St. John & Jeremy Kenyon. The company provides game services via mobile phone apps and is partnered with several computer manufacturers, such as Dell and HP, to provide games as a part of their prepackaged software.

The company’s service reaches over 20 million monthly players in the United States and Europe with a catalog of more than 1,000 games from nearly 100 developers.

While many games are free with advertising, WildTangent makes money through a combination of online sales, subscriptions, advertising, and micro-transactions using a proprietary micro-currency called WildCoins.

WildTangent’s catalog includes over 1,500 games from 3rd-party developers, with at least 30 games being produced in-house by developers at WildTangent’s game studio.

Some users complain that the games slow down their computers or are intrusive to the user experience.

PC Magazine wrote in 2004 that although the programs were “not very” evil, some privacy complaints were justified as the program’s user manual states that it may collect name, address, phone number, e-mail, and other contact information and could distribute the collected information with the user’s consent.

WildTangent maintains a corporate office in Bellevue, Washington.

Robinhood Corporate Office

Robinhood was founded in April 2013 by Vladimir Tenev and Baiju Bhatt, who had previously built high-frequency trading platforms for financial institutions in New York City.

Robinhood Markets is an American financial services company that allows users to purchase stocks, crypto currency, and exchange-traded funds easily and without commissions by using a mobile phone app.

The company earns its revenue from three main sources: interest earned on customers’ cash balances, selling order information to high-frequency traders (a practice for which the SEC opened an investigation into the company in September 2020) and margin lending.

In March 2022, Robinhood launched the Robinhood Cash Card, a debit card that allows users to automatically invest in assets like stocks and crypto when spending money.

Robinhood Markets went public on the NASDAQ in July 2021 under the ticker symbol HOOD.

FTX, the cryptocurrency platform, has approximately $450 million invested in Robinhood. It is unknown what will happen to the company’s shares since it has filed for bankruptcy and is being investigated for fraud.

Robinhood maintains a corporate office in Menlo Park, California.

Randstad Corporate Office

Randstad was founded in 1960 by Frits Goldschmeding and Ger Daleboudt. Both were studying economics at the time at VU University Amsterdam. Goldschmeding was supposed to write a thesis at the VU University Amsterdam and his professor advised him to write a thesis on temporary employment since there was hardly any literature at the time. After completing his thesis, Goldschmeding decided to turn the subject of his idea into a company. The first flyers for the firm were typed in Goldschmeding’s attic room in the student house on Sloterkade in Amsterdam.

Today, Randstad is one of the largest international HR management and temporary employment agencies in the world.

In 2019, Google contracted Randstad to provide facial recognition services for its Pixel 4 authentication feature. Google’s end goal with the project was to make the feature more inclusive by collecting facial data from people with dark skin, and those participating in the research were given a $5 gift certificate. However, the New York Daily News reported that Randstad project leaders allegedly directed its workers to maximize data collection by deceiving participants and targeting homeless people in Atlanta, Georgia.

Randstad stated that, after hearing concerns about how information was presented to participants and obtaining consent, the project was temporarily suspended and project leaders were retrained. After the Daily News published its report, Google said it had shut down its field research and was investigating the allegations.

The company recently stated that it believed that unemployment would continue to grow in 2023, despite a strong labor market at the end of 2022.

Randstad maintains a corporate office in the USA in Atlanta, Georgia.

Liberty Tax Service Corporate Office

Liberty Tax Service was founded in 1997 in Canada by John Hewitt, co-founder of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service.

Liberty Tax is a franchised chain of tax preparation services known for using guerrilla advertising in the form of the State of Liberty, Uncle Sam, and calculators to attract attention.

In 2009, Liberty Tax was ordered to pay $1.3 million for engaging in unfair business practices related to its refund anticipation loans. It later settled with the Department of Justice over allegations that its franchisee locations inflated some customer tax returns between 2013 and 2018.

As of 2021, Liberty Tax Service is the third-largest institutional tax preparation service provider in the United States and second-largest in Canada.

In August 2022, Liberty Tax sued the creators of the popular Netflix series Better Call Saul saying that the series stole not only their name but the infamous blow-up statue of liberty that is featured in the series.

In December 2022, the company is again being sued by Washington, D. C.’s attorney general for a misleading and deceptive incentive program.

Liberty Tax Service maintains a corporate office in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
