About

Care/of is a New York-based personalized vitamin and supplement brand founded in 2016 by Craig Elbert and Akash Shah. The company popularized algorithm-driven supplement personalization, asking consumers a series of lifestyle and health questions to recommend a custom daily vitamin pack delivered by subscription. Care/of was acquired by Bayer in November 2020 at a $225 million valuation, giving Bayer a majority ownership stake in the direct-to-consumer brand.\n\nUnder Bayer's Consumer Health division, Care/of has continued to operate with its original DTC model and brand identity while leveraging Bayer's supply chain, clinical validation resources, and marketing infrastructure. The brand extended its product line to include protein powders, collagen supplements, and wellness shots, maintaining its personalization-first positioning in a crowded supplement market.\n\nCare/of targets millennial consumers who value personalized wellness plans and want evidence-cited ingredient explanations. The brand's website provides research citations for every recommended ingredient, a transparency approach that built early credibility and loyalty. As part of Bayer, Care/of benefits from credentialing by association with a global pharmaceutical brand while retaining its digital-native identity.

About

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
