In October 2012, Redfin was named one of The DIGITAL 100: World’s Most Valuable Private Tech Companies by Business Insider.

Zoosk Corporate Office

Zoosk

While attending the University of Maryland, Iranian immigrants,  Shayan Zadeh and Alex Mehr wished that they had an easier way of meeting women.

Zoosk was founded in 2007. The company operates an online dating service.

In 2014, the company decided to go public. In their S-1 statement, the company reported 2013 revenues of $178.2 million, a 63% increase over the previous year, and that it had cut losses 87% to $2.6 million.

History

 It had 27 million members, of which 650,000 were paying subscribers, and its membership was growing 44% year-over-year. Zoosk had reached the position of no. 1 grossing dating app and a top 25 grossing app on the Apple IOS App Store.

Despite over $200 million in revenue, Zoosk lost money due to over-hiring. Zoosk canceled its IPO in December 2014 and laid off 20 percent of its staff.

In late 2014, Zoosk introduced a photo verification system. Clients must upload both a photo and a live video. Employees review the video to ensure that it matches the photo so clients know that they aren’t being catfished.

In July 2019, Sparks Network acquired Zoosk for an undisclosed amount.

In late 2021, Zoosk introduced virtual first dates, where potential matches can meet online first.

Zoosk maintains a corporate office in San Francisco, California.

Swanson Vitamins/Swanson Health Corporate Office

Swanson Vitamins/Swanson Health

Leland Swanson, self–taught health care enthusiast, founded Swanson Vitamins in 1969. Swanson started his vitamin supplement journey with Vitamin E capsules. Convinced the product had helped him, he began ordering from a manufacturing firm in Ohio and selling them via magazine advertising.

Swanson soon was creating his own mail-order catalog and by 1980, he had 10 employees. Due to demand, Swanson set up shop in a 15,000 square foot warehouse.

Today, Swanson Health Products, more commonly known as Swanson Vitamins, offers more than 26,000 products, ranging from vitamins and health supplements to eco-friendly “green” home cleaning products, and organic foods.

History

Since 2001, SHP has voluntarily participated in independent third-party Good Manufacturing Practices audits to maintain high-quality finished products. SHP regularly submits its dietary supplements to ConsumerLab.Com for testing, as well as for a thorough, third-party review of product safety and efficacy. 

In 2007, the company received a warning letter from the FDA stating that the company was selling an unapproved version of the prescription cholesterol drug called Mevacor. An FDA laboratory analysis determined that two of the company’s red yeast rice supplements contained significant amounts of lovastatin, the active ingredient in Mevacor and its generic counterparts.

In 2015, Swanson Health was rated one of the top-rated customer satisfaction brands, based on a survey by ConsumerLab.Com

In January 2019, the company started selling products containing cannabidiol from industrial hemp, which was federally legalized in the 2018 Farm Bill.
