- Art of MondaysA company that sells belonging to founders. It runs a sports club that matches entrepreneurs in more than eighty cities, an application-only community for people under thirty-five running online businesses, a subscription library of holiday houses, a newsletter, and a recruiting arm. It says five thousand founders have come through the sports club, that nine thousand people have applied to the community and fewer than one in ten were accepted, and that the house library holds somewhere between four hundred and twelve hundred stays depending on which of its own pages you read. This archive is drawn from what the company publishes about itself: its five websites, its own films, and its own numbers, which are recorded here as its claims rather than as facts. The Instagram account it is best known for could not be retrieved, so the record here is the one the business writes rather than the one it posts.
- SwarovskiIn 1892 Daniel Swarovski patented a machine that could cut crystal with a perfection no hand could match; in 1895 he founded his company in the Tyrolean village of Wattens. From that one invention grew a crystal empire, precision components for fashion and chandeliers, the jewellery and the beloved figurines under the swan logo, the spun-off SWAROVSKI OPTIK and Tyrolit, and the Kristallwelten museum with its Giant. And everywhere light needed to sparkle, Swarovski was there: the Wizard of Oz ruby slippers, the Oscars, the Met Gala, the Times Square New Year ball, the Rockefeller star and the Eurovision stage. This is the story of the family, the machine and the sparkle.
- PitchThe moment someone has to say what the idea is, out loud, to people who can say no. Two minutes in front of the sharks; a slide deck that turned out to be worth ten billion dollars; sixty seconds on a demo-day stage in Mountain View; a man in a black turtleneck pulling a computer out of a bag in 1984. This is an archive of the pitch itself, the deals and the walkouts, the decks that raised the money and the ones investors passed on, the founders who told the story right, and the people whose job is to listen to four hundred of them a week.
