Here’s a short list of modern companies I admire, in no particular order:
- Apple
- Berkshire Hathaway
- Pixar
- Bridgewater Associates
- W.L. Gore & Associates
- YCombinator
- IDEO
- The Baupost Group (see here)
- Valve Corporation
- Costco
- Amazon
I admire each for different reasons, but primarily it is their culture, processes, and organizational structure. All of these also maintain “smallness” in their own way, a topic I’ll probably discuss in a future post.
