Companies I admire

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.
