HOW TO REACH US

Inc. Magazine

Every Step You Take

WHY NOW? • The reasons behind this year’s rush to IPO

Should a Business Start in a Co-Working Space? • Consider the now-ubiquitous co-working space, where freelancers and founders rub elbows. Such spots, of course, promise flexible leases and ready-made culture—and many distractions. A co-working space co-founder and a founder whose company started at a co-working space—but eventually fled—discuss the pros and cons.

The Jargonator • Swatting the buzzwords of business since 2014.

Uber, but for Cavities

NOT YOUR AVERAGE SUMMER HOLIDAY

Miami • Immigrants, limitless co-working spaces, and a dash of the good life make the No. 13 Surge City an entrepreneurial hotbed.

MAXIMUM IMPACT MARKETING • Marketing technology allows small and midsize businesses to compete with bigger players.

The Tech IPO-Then and Now

Just Don’t Get Comfortable • Red Ventures is going places. Where? Not sure. And that’s the plan.

How I Did It • 15 inspiring founders—and their even more inspiring stories

How I learned to tame my temper—and become a better boss • Samin Nosrat has always been “good with people”—when she’s not managing them. The chef and star of Netflix’s smash hit Salt Fat Acid Heat, adapted from her best-selling book, is as charismatic in person as she is on screen, with an infectious laugh. She’s starting a new company, to produce future TV projects; this time, she’s determined to be a better leader.

How I was fired from my company—and bounced back • Stacy Spikes is currently running his movie-ticket startup, PreShow. But he’s best known for co-founding MoviePass in 2011. In 2017, MoviePass was bought by analytics firm Helios + Matheson, which soon dismissed Spikes as COO. It forced him to grapple with what it takes to process, recover—and start something new.

How I’m cutting new plastic from my business • Everlane was founded in 2010 on a vow to work with ethical, fair-wage factories and to sell clothing to consumers directly and transparently: Here’s what producing this T-shirt costs, here’s what we make off a purchase. Three years ago, founder Michael Preysman decided to cut Everlane’s use of new plastic—a challenge for an apparel company with 160 staffers.

How I learned to run my husband’s business after he died • For years, Mary Celeste Beall, 42, played a supporting role at Blackberry Farm, the legendary resort in Tennessee that her husband, Sam Beall, ran. When he died suddenly in 2016, the mother of five had to learn to run it herself—while shouldering the burden of devastating grief.

How I joined an industry incumbent I’d set out to defeat • After co-founding the wildly successful direct-to-consumer eyewear company Warby Parker, Jeff Raider co-founded DTC shaving brand Harry’s, which Edgewell Personal Care, the parent company of Schick, bought in May for $1.37 billion. In Raider’s view, the deal vaults him and co-founder Andy Katz-Mayfield closer to their goal of reinventing a huge category.

How we built our company while traveling the world—with our toddlers • Based in Boulder, Colorado, Boba—short for “Boulder baby”—produces and sells baby carriers and wraps. Founders Robert and Elizabeth Antunovic launched it with $15,000 and then began traveling the world with their family. Today, Boba’s revenue tops $10 million, and the couple oversee 25 employees from their home in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

How I didn’t get that MBA (and still started a billion-dollar company) • In May, the suitcase company...
