Jack Mardack, Co-Founder of Oyster

Jack began his career as an "accidental" marketer before working in banking and finance. Then, he had enough and decided to move to the San Francisco Bay Area to join the startup scene. There, he met like-minded, smart people who shared his interests in entrepreneurship and finding a way to create a human-centric sustainable business that aligned its business model with a positive impact.

We explore why Jack and his co-founders decided to tackle global employment, local benefits and payroll. He shares how companies have started to use business as a force for good and what sets Oyster apart. Finally, we dig into what it means to be a certified B Corp and how Oyster achieved a $1-billion private valuation to become a unicorn startup.
