Ask HN: What is your favorite innovative company?
Would look to hear your thoughts on this.
I have 3 main ones:
• Stripe - they’ve been non stop launching new great products and the founders have an amazing vision of the company;
• Tesla - wether you like Elon Musk or not, everyone can agree on how impressive it is for a 5-door sedan to have the fastest acceleration of any production car in the world;
• Lilium - This is still a moonshot company but if they’re able to meet the targets of having flying cars operational by 2025 it’ll completely transform the mobility sector.

- ranuzz 5y agocloudflare. I like how they solve a lot of interesting problem in very user friendly.

- muzani 5y agoControversial but Apple. I like that they keep things really simple and are really clear and focused about what they're trying to accomplish. I've been trying to go minimalist and often you need a rich and powerful role model to justify that cutting features will make more money. MacBooks are probably not the best example. But the screens are clear and the processor is beautiful. Airpod and the old iPods were my favorite example. I also loved that Android rewrote their design when they saw the iPhone.
