JustFab Corporate Office

JustFab, also known as JustFab.com was launched in 2010 by current co-CEOs Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler. The company was initially called JustFabulous before shortening its name. JustFab is a subscription e-commerce website that carries clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories. Membership to the site costs $39.95 per month and consumers will continue to be charged monthly until they cancel.

In September 2011, Kimora Lee Simmons joined JustFab as President and Creative Director. By December, the company had acquired 4 million registered users.

In 2011, the company received $33 million in venture funding from Matrix Partners. In 2012, the company raised an additional $76 million which was used to expand into Canada, the UK and Germany.

In January 2013, the company acquired FabKids, a children’s fashion subscription website. The company had grown to 10 million users by this time. The company expanded in Spain in late 2013 and also acquired competitor ShoeDazzle, a subscription shoe website. The company also announced it had raised an additional $40 million in funding.

JustFab has been criticized for their aggressive and sometimes deceptive marketing practices. Consumers believe they are making a one-time purchase when they are in fact enrolling into the monthly subscription service. A class action lawsuit was filed against the company in 2011.

History

Uber Corporate Office

Uber is a private taxi and ridesharing service that was founded in 2009 by former CEO Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp. The company was originally called UberCab and the mobile app launched in June 2010. The Uber app allows you to hail a private cab using your mobile phone’s GPS. The company has several different levels of service:

Uber Black: Black car executive service.
UberX: Cheapest service, non-luxury sedan
UberXL: UberX with a larger vehicle (SUV or minivan)
Uber Pool: Ridesharing service only available in select cities.

The company raised $49.5 million in funding in 2011 which helped lead an international expansion in 2012. The company first expanded into Canada, then the UK and Australia.

2013 saw the company expand into Singapore, Seoul and South Africa.

The company has faced strong opposition from the regulated cab industry. In many cities, a cab medallion can cost several hundred thousand to a million or more dollars. Uber has greatly disrupted that industry. The company has also faced public outcry for their “surge pricing” which increases fares by a multiplier depending on local demand.

Some countries have banned Uber altogether. Notably, the company was banned from operating in Germany in early 2015.

In 2014, the company began UberEats, a food delivery service. Uber anticipates being able to provide UberEats service to at least 70% of the continental US by the end of 2018.

The company stated in May 2019, that it would start banning clients with low ratings, but declined to give an official number.

Uber went public on the NYSE May 10, 2019, under the ticker symbol UBER. The stock briefly rose but returned to its opening price within 6 weeks.

Uber currently operates nearly worldwide and in more than 785+ major cities. The company has raised $2.8 billion in funding to date.

Even with the lower ridership due to the coronavirus, Uber will most likely make a profit in 2020.

Headquarters for the company remains in San Francisco, California.
