Beyond is the #1 Revenue Management Platform for short-term rental owners and managers to get, grow, and keep revenue. Our easy-to-use platform includes a dynamic, demand-driven pricing tool with extensive market data that pairs with OTA distribution and a best-in-class booking engine. But we are so much more than that. We are innovators. We are a leader in the short-term rental industry, building products that help property managers and small business owners to be successful. We set out to fill a real need in the industry, and we have organized our entire company such that our success hinges on our customers’ success. We are results-oriented. We take pride in what we accomplish. We set transparent goals that we share out across the company, and we work tirelessly to smash them. We encourage Beyonders to grow by setting individual career goals, and we support everyone on their journey to meet those goals. We are people first. We would not be successful without the brilliant people that have helped us to get to where we are today. We have a global workforce that is proud of their diversity of experiences, demographics and backgrounds. We believe that creating an environment where people can feel comfortable to be themselves also empowers them to perform at their best. We are values-driven. We have five core values that provide structure for our company decisions, interactions, and work: We Care, We Go Beyond, We Are On The Same Team, We Inspire Trust and We Ship It. If these values resonate with you, then you Belong at Beyond too. To date, we've supported over 340,000 properties in more than 7,500 cities worldwide and have enabled billions of dollars in booking revenue. Founded in 2013, Beyond is headquartered in San Francisco. To learn more, visit beyondpricing.com

In Stock makes buying products locally as easy as buying on Amazon. Instead of buying on Amazon, you can search In Stock to find any product available from a friendly local business to pick up or be delivered today. We help you feel good about shopping local, without losing the convenience of shopping online. Consumers in the US spend over $4 trillion a year in retail purchases, with 90% of that coming from physical retail stores. By transforming the way people buy products from physical stores, we are unlocking a massive opportunity that will change how local retail operates. Over half of local retail stores don’t have their product inventory on their website and almost none of them offer local delivery. Coronavirus accelerated a trend of people less and less willing to go into physical stores. When we realized we could provide the breadth of products that Amazon has with the speed of delivery, at a comparable cost to retailers and consumers, we knew we could help transform the pay people shop. In Stock is led by Ian McHenry, who previously founded Beyond Pricing, a data and dynamic pricing SaaS solution for vacation rentals which grew to double-digit millions in ARR and raised over $45m from top-tier investors including Bessemer Ventures. Ian has been passionate about large datasets and optimization problems since his days at Princeton University, and the underlying dataset behind where every product is at any given moment that powers In Stock is what gets him really excited every day.

We produce great products for active people. Our first product, Wetter Feet (www.wetterfeet.com), is a place to build your bucket list, find friends to do it with, and buy those experiences right on our site from local outfitters. We are building the "Amazon for Experiences."
