LoveSac Furniture Corporate Office

Lovesac Furniture

LoveSac was founded in 1995 by current CEO Shawn D. Nelson. He started his business by making bean bag chairs and selling them to other University of Utah students. After learning Chinese while on a religious mission, Nelson put this skill to use to purchase material directly from China for his first large order. In 2005, he won a $1 million investment on Richard Branson’s reality TV show “The Rebel Billionaire.”

The company is best known for its gigantic bean bag “chairs” that are so big, they can double as couches or even beds. LoveSac also makes sectional sofas that can be rearranged into various configurations, change seat covers, and exchange parts that become damaged, rather than purchase a new set.

History

LoveSac filed for bankruptcy in 2006 but emerged that same year. In 2012 it was named the Fastest Growing Furniture Company in the US by Furniture Today magazine and in June of 2018, the company went public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol: LOVE.

The company currently has 60 store locations, though most sales are done online.

Headquarters are located in Stamford, Connecticut. LoveSac reported sales of $101.8 million for the fiscal year ending February 4, 2018.

MeUndies Corporate Office

MeUndies

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.

History

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.

BirchBox Corporate Office

BirchBox

BirchBox was founded in 2010 by two graduates of the Harvard Business School, Hayley Barna and Katia Beauchamp in New York City. The company operates an online monthly subscription service which features cosmetics and grooming products.

In July 2014, the company opened its first brick and mortar location in New York’s trendy SoHo district. By September of 2015, BirchBox had more than 1 million subscribers and 800 brand partners.

History

The products include skincare items, perfumes,organic-based products, and various other types of cosmetics. There are 4 to 5 sample sized products in each box, with the idea being that clients will love the product so much they will purchase the full sized version.

Hayley Barna left the company in 2015. Declining sales forced the company to lay off approximately 15% of the staff. Walgreens purchased a minority share in the company in October of 2018.

In January 2018, hedge fund Viking Global Investors purchased a majority share of the company, assuring employees that there were no plans for layoffs or job cuts.

Headquarters for BirchBox is located in New York, New York.

Roku Corporate Office

Roku

Roku actually got its start from Netflix in late 2007. Netflix was about to release its own streaming service set-top box when the CEO wondered what would happen if Netflix released the box and other devices, such as DVD players or game systems, would not allow Netflix to run on their devices.

History

This became the idea that is now called Roku. Roku devices stream Netflix, as well as other channels and services directly to customer’s TV sets. The device has been through multiple changes, with each new update being called a “generation.” Currently, the latest model is the 7th generation, released in September 2018.

Roku is actively searching for more media companies to put their content on their platform, with a portion of the ad revenue benefiting Roku. The company already has a large number of providers that stream on Roku including Hulu, Amazon Video, PlayStation Vue, Redbox, YouTube, and Time Warner Cable.

In 2017, a Mexican court banned the sale of Roku products after Mexican TV station Televisa complained that the devices were easily hacked and allowed subscription channels to be illegally streamed. Roku made changes to their devices and the ban was lifted in late 2018.

Company headquarters are located in the same building as NetFlix, in Los Gatos, California.

BioPet Labs Corporate Office

BioPet Labs

Tom Boyd founded BioPet Labs in 2008. Boyd says he was fascinated by DNA technology but wanted to find a new way to use it. BioPet Labs has two divisions, PooPrints, and BioPet DNA.

History

Both divisions provide similar services. With more than 40% of people not picking up their dog’s “business”, apartment managers or HOA board members can send samples and BioPet Labs will help to identify the culprit. Cost is $70, but dog owners end up footing the bill when their dog is identified as the guilty party.

BioPet DNA testing goes beyond telling owners exactly what breed(s) their dog is/are, but identifies possible health problems that might develop. Dog breeders can assure their customers that puppies are 100% purebred by using this service.

In 2017, BioPet raked in $7 million. Headquarters are located in Knoxville, Tennessee.
