Series B is a platform for entrepreneurs, Kellogg students, and alumni to talk about founding, funding, and growing startups. Join us each Thursday in the Innovation Lab of the Kellogg Global Hub for a Series B presentation.

Keith Hoogland, a Vanderbilt University graduate, assumed the presidency of Family Video in 1995 and guided the company’s development into one of the largest video retailers in the US, and ultimately the largest privately-owned video chain in the world.

Despite tough competition from publicly-traded video store chains, Family Video outlasted them all, and continues to rent movies and video games in 21 states at over 775 locations. Though video tapes were replaced by DVD and Blu-ray discs and various video game formats have come and gone, our video rental business operates much the way it always has:  exceptional customer service, a compelling title selection, competitive pricing and free movies for kids.
