The Information selected 50 companies that have the potential to be the most valuable businesses in their categories based on their current revenue, business model, and growth prospects.

Startups that once rode the rocket ship of the pandemic e-commerce boom are adjusting to solid ground again. E-commerce is still growing, but the days of seemingly unlimited demand for storage, packing, and shipping services are in the past.Those circumstances demand a recalibration, not just from the household names of logistics like UPS, FedEx, and DHL but from a slew of venture-backed e-commerce fulfillment startups — many of which contain the word "ship" in their name, and most of which raised the vast majority of their funding in the last two years.
The contradictions are creating a muddy picture for retailers, and at stake is more than just profits. It's also the overall economic narrative going into next year — and facing seemingly bleaker economic predictions by the day."The last normal year was like 2019, right? Everyone's business has changed so much since then, it's really hard to build a model," said e-commerce fulfillment firm ShipHero CEO Aaron Rubin.Despite the uncertainty, there's one group retailers have to get real, and real specific, with about what's to come — that's their logistics partners.‍
ShipHero was created by an eCommerce merchant who needed a better, more efficient and more cost effective way to manage his inventory in his warehouse and for shipping orders to customers.
Now, ShipHero is a Warehouse Management Software and Fulfillment Solutions leader, serving more than 5,000 eCommerce brands and shipping thousands of packages per week.
Aaron Rubin, ShipHero’s CEO was recently recognized by World Business Magazine as a Top 100 CEO in Innovation for 2022. Aaron’s commitment to always keeping the client’s needs top-of-mind and building a product that people need has led ShipHero to great success.
As an innovator, Aaron has always believed that having more client support team members than sales team members leads to growth, and he was right. By offering top notch support, ShipHero has grown quickly, expanding its total employees from just under 200 to over 450 in about 18 months.
He also is committed to constantly improving ShipHero’s WMS. Working closely with ShipHero’s engineers and product team have led to providing one of the most comprehensive WMS options available.
Maggie M. Barnett is a powerhouse at ShipHero. Supply and Demand Chain Executive, named her one of Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s 2022 Women in Supply Chain. On top of her duties as Chief Operating Officer, she is also responsible for overseeing ShipHero’s Fulfillment Solutions operations. Along with Aaron, Maggie provides direction for the company, looking for ways to grow ShipHero’s business and enhance its reputation.
Maggie’s past experience as a lawyer has led her to be a wonderful spokesperson for ShipHero. She has moderated panel discussions and webinars, and often represents ShipHero to the media, especially as supply chain issues have plagued the industry since 2020.
Integral to her role is the knowledge and insight into ShipHero’s business and goals and a roadmap for reaching them. She also leads by example and is an excellent mentor for employees across the company.
At ShipHero, we’re proud to work with Aaron and Maggie who continue to push boundaries and lead with an innovative mindset. We acknowledge these achievements and can’t wait to see what comes next. Congratulations, Aaron and Maggie!
