Staples
Staples spent four decades selling the things that make work possible. Its more interesting act is turning a familiar office-supply store into the place where America finishes the fiddly jobs the internet cannot.
Zachary Garippa
Zachary Garippa is the co-founder and CEO of Order.co, the New York B2B spend-management and guided-purchasing platform he started in 2016 as Negotiatus. A Boston College finance grad who once worked a Morgan Stanley desk and a luxury-building door, Garippa built Order into a company connecting 40,000-plus vendors, serving 300-plus customers, and processing nearly half a billion dollars in annualized spend. He rises at 3:30 a.m., says he is 'trying to build the greatest company New York has ever seen,' and is chasing a Series C to get there.
