Warby Parker

Overview

Founded in 2010 by four Wharton MBA graduates, this mission-driven eyewear retailer transformed the eyewear industry by offering designer-quality prescription glasses at accessible prices. Initially launched online, the company introduced the Home Try-On program, allowing customers to try frames at home for free and quickly expanded its presence to hundreds of physical retail stores across North America.

With offerings including contact lenses, eye exams, and vision tests, the organization remains committed to social responsibility by partnering with nonprofits to provide eye care for underserved communities. It has generated substantial revenue and continues to grow its market value, combining innovation with philanthropy and customer-centric retail practices.
