Cofounders and co-CEOs, Warby Parker

Warby Parker has done a lot in five years. Since its founding in 2010, the eyeglass retailer has raised $115.5 million in venture-capital funding (most recently taking in $100 million in a round of funding led by T. Rowe Price in April), opened 12 storefronts in nine cities and become a “unicorn” with a valuation of $1.2 billion. The startup also operates on a platform of social good, mirroring every pair of glasses purchased with a pair donated to someone in need.

The brand plans to continue expanding their brick-and-mortar operations, and has also considered developing technology that will let them issue prescriptions in-house.
