Future Tech Enterprise and the art of making technology arrive
A laptop is easy to buy. Getting thousands of them configured, secured, delivered, and eventually retired is where Future Tech Enterprise has made its living - and where its AI ambitions begin.
Storm Technologies and the business of making IT behave
A laptop order is the easy part. Storm Technologies has built its business around the awkward work that follows: getting devices deployed, keeping people working and putting old equipment back to use.
The 40-Year-Old IT Company Selling One Thing Above All: Someone to Answer
Transputec began with two students, a bank problem and a machine called a transputer. Four decades later, its pitch is refreshingly unglamorous: keep the systems running, make the costs legible and pick up the phone when they do not.
The 75-Year-Old Typewriter Shop That Learned to Make IT Prove Its Work

Insight Built an $8.2 Billion Business Selling Tech. Now It Wants to Make It Work.
The Fortune 500 company grew up shipping hard drives. Its next act is harder: becoming the accountable layer between enterprise buyers, cloud giants, AI systems and the stubborn machinery already in place.

Oscar Mattsson
Oscar Mattsson is the founder and CEO of allwhere, a New York startup that handles the unglamorous physics of remote work: buying, shipping, tracking, and retrieving the laptops and gear that distributed teams scatter across the globe. A founding member of WeWork's enterprise business, he launched allwhere out of D.E. Shaw's venture studio in 2021 and brought it out of stealth in July 2022 with $9.5 million in seed funding. His bet is simple and stubborn - flexibility is permanent, and someone has to manage the hardware behind it.
