About Pure Adapt
Why Pure Adapt?
Pure Adapt, Inc was founded in December 2006 as a collaboration of individual web projects. With a primary focus on our e-commerce sites, we design, develop, and operate websites in a variety of industries.
As a self-funded company that doesn't have any outside investors to answer to, we're able to always make decisions based upon what we believe is best for our customers and for the long term growth of our company, not our immediate bottom line.
For all of our sites we do everything in-house: from concept to design, development, deployment, search engine optimization, web marketing, order fulfillment, and customer service. This allows us to have tighter control over all of our business processes and ensures that every aspect of our company meets our high quality standards.
Our Facility
Every order that comes through one of our e-commerce sites is fulfilled by our team at our warehouse in Albany, NY. Our facility is extremely clean, efficient, and well-organized, allowing us to fulfill 99% of our orders in less than one business day.
The Community
All of our owners were born and raised in the Albany, NY area and take great pride in giving back to our community. Here are just a few examples of how we're funneling our profits earned from around the world back into our community:
- We make every effort to use environmentally friendly business processes in every aspect of our company. We use anti-static biodegradable packing peanuts in our packages, we print invoices on 100% recycled paper, pallets and packing material sent to us is recycled using freecycle, our accounting system is nearly 100% paperless, and all paper, plastic, and cardboard used in our facility is recycled.
- Mike donates to a different charity each month on the My Monthly Charity section of his blog.
- Greg is a volunteer coach for the Colonie Soccer Club.
- Adam has given several lectures to local students and young professionals about entrepreneurship as a career choice, most recently to the entrepreneurship class at James Madison University.
- In 2010 we are sponsoring two scholarships for Colonie High School students through the South Colonie Scholars for Dollars program. All four of our owners are alumni of Colonie High.
- We previously designed and currently maintain the Books by EB & KP website. The authors donate most of their books to under privleaged youth and use any proceeds to donate more books. To date they have donated over 1,000 books to local students.
- We previously donated 5% of our pre-tax profit from our now-closed store Tastefully Driven to local charities through our Commerce with Conscience program. In 2008 we made a sizeable donation to the Regional Foodbank of Northeastern New York to help provide food to struggling families in our area.
- In 2008, our team participated in the annual Climb UAlbany Event benefiting the New State American Lung Association.
Our Team
All under the age of 30, our owners come from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds spanning the entire spectrum of skills needed to run a successful web business. From left to right below - Adam, Greg, Mike, and George
