business: Rihanna's Fenty Beauty Among TIME's "Genius Companies"

TIME asked its global network of editors and correspondents to nominate "Genius Companies," with winners chosen based on originality, influence, success and ambition. Among the highlights:
  • Amazon: “Amazon disrupts nearly ­everything it tackles."
  • Domino’s: “Domino’s new Hotspots cover more than 150,000 outdoor locations that lack traditional street addresses. It’s the latest in a series of Domino’s innovations that embrace the smartphone-centric lifestyles of millennial pizza ­consumers — and helped Domino’s overtake Pizza Hut last year to become the largest pizza company in the world.”
  • Oculus: “Facebook’s Oculus unit is nudging virtual reality mainstream."
  • Netflix: “Netflix launched the streaming revolution and turned viewers into binge watchers."
  • WeWork: “WeWork’s vibrant co-working spaces… are transforming office culture."
  • Bumble: “On the Bumble app, heterosexual connections must be initiated by women, which supporters say reduces harassment."
  • Fenty Beauty: “Founded by the singer Rihanna with luxury-goods giant LVMH’s Kendo division ... Makeup enthusiasts rejoiced, not only over the products but also for how Fenty featured women of color in its advertising."
