    Stonewall Kitchen

    Myra M. Hart, Victoria Winston, Kristin Lieb, Kenna Wyllie Baudin, Alison Bell and Leslie Simmons

    Jonathan King and Jim Stott, the founders of Stonewall Kitchen, started out in 1992 with a simple business selling jams and jellies at local farmers' markets. By 2004, they had grown the company into a $25 million organization with 250 employees. They expanded their range of services to include high-end specialty food manufacturing and wholesaling, as well as retailing through free-standing stores and catalogs. King, who serves as president and CEO, set an aggressive growth goal: to quadruple the business to $100 million within the next five years. Challenges students to consider product/market issues as well as organizational and cultural implications. Raises questions about the impact on the business and the founders of taking on new partners.

    Mavens & Moguls: Because Marketing Matters...

    Myra M. Hart, Kristin Lieb and Victoria Winston

    Mavens & Moguls is a virtual marketing-consulting firm of approximately 40 professionals. Examines the processes by which Paige Arnof-Fenn (an HBS grad with deep industry experience)draws on her experience and her network to create a high-quality marketing consulting operation that offers her and her stable of consultants challenging work, rewarding income, personal autonomy, and flexibility. Looks at the business concept, organizational structure, and value proposition of Mavens & Moguls. Because Arnof-Fenn is at the nexus of almost all the deals--and is the primary driver of Mavens & Moguls' growth--she might also be its biggest constraint.

    Reactivity: A Case of Re-Invention

    Myra M. Hart and Sylvia Sensiper

    By the time Glenn Osaka joined Reactivity as its new CEO in January 2001, the Internet bubble had burst, the financial markets had turned, and the company's core businesses were drying up. He was not hired to lead a turnaround, but Osaka found that the firm's future would depend on his ability to redirect the firm. He wanted the founders to come to this conclusion on their own. Looks at Osaka's leadership style, culture development, and consensus building. The founders of Reactivity (a software consulting and incubator start-up) were flying high when they closed on $23 million in venture capital in April 2000. Following the recommendation of their new VC board members, they began a search for an experienced manager/CEO who could lead the company's next stage of growth, but when he took over the reins, Osaka found that the challenges would be very different. Traces the company's history--from its organization in 1997 to late 2004, with primary focus on the transformation of the organization from consulting and incubating to a product-focused business.

    Extend Fertility

    Myra M. Hart and Sylvia Sensiper

    Focuses on the search for opportunity, the generation and evaluation of business concepts, creation of a business plan, and the start-up process. Follows experienced entrepreneur Christy Jones as she combines her business skills and personal experience to generate new business concepts. Jones' assessment of the market opportunity for the egg harvesting and cryopreservation business was based on firsthand observations of the needs of young professional women and extensive field and scientific research. The plan, which won the HBS business plan contest in 2004, provides a good example of the form and substance of a well-crafted plan. Provides an opportunity to discuss the underlying social issues that make it attractive for young women to purchase "fertility insurance" while they pursue professional careers.

    Ilene Lang and the Catalyst Search (A)

    Myra M. Hart and Laura L. Nash

    Catalyst, the nonprofit organization dedicated to championing women in professional ranks, is searching for a new president--only the third in its 42-year history. Ilene Lang, a corporate executive and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in high-tech ventures, considers whether and how to prepare herself to be the top candidate for the position. Challenges students to assess the key factors influencing such a career choice. Consider the fit between this particular candidate and Catalyst, and develop an action plan for successful pursuit of the candidacy. Reviews Lang's professional and personal history, Catalyst's history, and a general review of women in the workplace and in positions of top responsibility since the 1960s (statistics appear in exhibits). Lang's particular history also invites discussion of the role of women in top management, especially hi-tech management, along with work/family choices.

    Levenger Company

    Myra M. Hart, Kristin Lieb and Victoria Winston

    The Leveens started a high-end catalog business as a small home-based venture in 1987. It grew into a nationally recognized, $60 million company, offering products that ranged from unique pens and pencils to leather briefcases and fully furnished offices. In 1999, it reached saturation in the U.S. marketplace, and the owner-founders must consider new avenues of growth, including expansion of the catalog business into international markets; private labeling products for a large, national retailer; retailing in partnership with others; or retailing through company-owned, free-standing stores.

    Zipcar: Refining the Business Model

    Myra M. Hart, Michael J. Roberts and Julia Stevens

    Zipcar is a start-up organized around the idea of "sharing" car usage via a membership organization. This case describes several iterations of the Zipcar business model and financial plan. These iterations include a very early version and a version developed just prior to the launch of the business, as well as data from the first few months of operations.

    Mavens & Moguls: Creating a New Business Model

    Myra M. Hart, Victoria Winston and Kristin Lieb

    Mavens & Moguls is a "virtual" marketing-consulting firm of approximately 40 professionals. Examines the processes by which its founder, Paige Arnof-Fenn, learns the business, builds a power network of industry experts and potential customers, and uses this expertise to build a new company that fulfills her career and life goals and also provides a wide range of work options to the consultants. Drawing on her experience and her network, she creates a high-quality marketing consulting operation that offers her and her stable of consultants challenging work, rewarding income, personal autonomy, and flexibility. Because Arnof-Fenn is at the nexus of almost all the deals, rapid growth has the potential to challenge the business model and threaten the fundamental values of the organization.

    Sarah Vickers-Willis: Career Decisions (A)

    Myra M. Hart, Lynda M. Applegate, Sarah Harden and Susan Saltrick

    Sarah Vickers-Willis, HBS MBA 1999, faces a critical career decision: Does she redirect the Internet start-up she helped found or join in shaping a for-profit firm with a social mission? Sarah, a young Australian business executive, has always strived to "find space" for what's important to her in her career. Her career decisions began when she decided to interrupt a successful consulting career in Australia to attend Harvard Business School and continued through her founding (with three other HBS classmates) a fast-track Internet start-up. This case traces Sarah's increasing involvement with a small for-profit firm dedicated to improving the financial education of young women and ends with a decision point: Should she stay with the company she helped found, or should she move to the entrepreneurial firm with a social mission?

    The founders of Motive Communications, Inc., a recent start-up dedicated to reinventing the support chain involved in the delivery of information technology support services, put in place a development process hinged on extensive customer feedback. As part of this, a select group of "lighthouse customers" agreed to pay $50,000 to participate in beta testing--but as a deadline approached, none had sent in their checks. The founders therefore reevaluate the lighthouse policy and its rationale.

While the company's vision has remained consistent, the company has taken on new forms as the Internet world in which it operates changes. The company reincarnates its business model and creates new strategic partnerships in an Internet space that is rapidly filling with other women's media organizations. McDaniel's challenges include "getting her stars aligned" before an IPO. Does she have the proper systems in place to ensure that an IPO will be successful?

    Boston Duck Tours,1996: Has Boston Gone Quackers?

    Myra M. Hart and Stephanie Dodson

    While on vacation in Memphis, former investment manager Andy Wilson discovers a unique "tour bus" that travels over land and through water. He decides to transplant the concept to Boston and to add both historical and theatrical features to the amphibious tour. As he tries to start up Boston Duck Tours, Wilson must figure out how to organize and fund the new venture. The challenges seem overwhelming. He has no relevant experience and very little money. The market is untested and, at best, seasonal. Furthermore, the regulatory barriers are high. Wilson's persistence and creativity provide some solutions, but create additional challenges when it comes to harvesting financial value. This case is particularly useful in the Resourcing and Organizing module of a course on New Ventures.
