Platypus is a Shrewsbury, NJ-based company in the Retail sector.
Founded in 1972 by avid young angler Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops is a leading national retailer of outdoor gear and apparel, with 100 stores and Tracker Marine Centers across North America. Johnny started the business with eight-square-feet of space in the back of his father`s liquor store in Springfield, Mo., the company`s sole location for the first 13 years of business. Johnny`s passion for the outdoors and his feel for the products and shopping experiences desired by outdoor enthusiasts helped transform the industry. Bass Pro Shops locations are more than just stores — they are true destination experiences that draw more than 120 million visitors annually. Each location is heavily customized to reflect the character of the region. In addition to giant aquariums teeming with live fish and extensive wildlife mounts and dioramas, many locations feature unique restaurants and ocean-themed bowling alleys. Guided by the visionary leadership of our founder and CEO Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops is making a significant impact in on the future of conservation. More than 40 years after Johnny began helping people connect with nature through a tiny bait shop, our conservation mission is to inspire people to enjoy, love and conserve the great outdoors. Key conservation initiatives include protecting wildlife and habitat, connecting kids and families to the outdoors and protecting sportsmen`s rights through access and advocacy efforts. We play an active role in the communities we serve including partnering with local conservation organizations, assisting in disaster relief efforts and supporting our military and veterans. Our associates are the heart and soul of Bass Pro Shops. We work together every day to support our customers and each other based on the essential values of respect, fairness and teamwork to accomplish great things. As a result, we have been voted by Forbes as one of "America`s Best Employers."

1stdibs is the premier luxury marketplace for rare and beautiful objects in furniture, fashion, fine art, and jewelry. We connect the world`s most respected dealers and makers with sophisticated collectors who share in the pursuit of beautiful design. In doing so, we partner closely with progressive dealers to define and shape the future of antique, vintage, and contemporary buying-and-selling. We consider ourselves unique among other start-ups because we`ve been around since 2001, yet still exhibit strong entrepreneurial DNA that informs how we operate and function as a company. Some may call us a “mature start-up” -- one without the day-to-day uncertainty of a start-up, but with enough nimbleness and willingness to question the status quo that we can adapt quickly to unexpected changes. It helps that we are led by a seasoned executive team that has seen it all: CEO David Rosenblatt formerly ran DoubleClick and negotiated its sale to Google for $3.2 billion. Other top executives have held senior roles at eBay, Gilt Groupe, FreshDirect, BarnesandNoble.com, MLB.com, Group Commerce, and Venmo. And, as we have grown, we`ve been lucky enough to attract the brightest talent from the start-up and art/design communities: Net-a-Porter, Rent the Runway, Groupon, Sotheby`s, Christie`s, McKinsey & Company, AmEx, among many others. We are backed by several prominent venture capital firms like Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, Insight Ventures, and Spark Capital. Alibaba Group has also made a significant investment in 1stdibs.
