If there’s a market open to new experiences, it’s the United States. Consumers are receptive to good ideas, and here are a few for you.
The ideal place to start a business is undoubtedly the United States, where consumers are open to new proposals that make their lives easier and simpler. They are curious, have money, and love trying new things. That’s why startups find their ideal place: from home-delivered gas stations to private spaces for phone calls at work. Let’s see what they are:
Filld – Home Gas Station Service
Founded in 2014 in Silicon Valley, this startup had already raised $15 million by 2018. It provides home delivery to fill up its customers’ vehicle tanks, who can order the service through an app. It serves all types of cars and both individuals and companies. It operates in Silicon Valley, Seattle, Portland, and Canada.
The Wing – A Club for Working Women
It’s a coworking space and exclusive networking club for women that offers a variety of services: workspaces, meeting rooms, a cafeteria, and even a salon for busy workers who don’t have time to schedule an appointment. As a bonus, it organizes talks, cultural events, and all kinds of activities, besides helping many executives and employees make contacts.
Ovie – Smart Food Containers
Established in 2018, this new company has developed the first advanced storage containers on the market. These containers are equipped with a smart tag that needs to be programmed with the type of food stored, a task that can also be done through Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa. The company launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, where it raised over $64,000, surpassing the initial goal of $40,000. This success demonstrates significant interest in a product designed to avoid confusion when storing food in the refrigerator.
ROOM – Phone Booths in the Office
Privacy protection is crucial in all areas of life, including the workplace. That’s why ROOM has developed soundproof booths that allow making phone calls or working in the office without being affected by the typical noise of large work environments. This project is among the most outstanding business proposals on this list, offering various booth options according to their size and functionality.
Aim – The Autonomous Hospital
This new company has developed an innovative concept of an autonomous hospital. Similar to a photo booth, patients with any ailment can enter a structure located on the street, where they can have virtual consultations with doctors or receive diagnoses for a wide range of diseases. In situations requiring hospital care, the booth can also transform into an autonomous vehicle, capable of navigating through traffic to reach the emergency room as quickly as possible.
Mirror – Fitness Monitor
The startup Mirror has developed a mirror equipped with a camera and speakers that functions as a personal gym monitor. This device provides personalized workout plans and, when not in use for exercise, becomes a decorative piece for the home.
Blueland – Plastic-Free Cleaning Products
In recent years, there has been an abundance of innovative business ideas in the sector of reducing plastics and preserving the environment. A notable example is Blueland, a US-based company specialized in cleaning products committed to minimizing the use of polluting materials. Their focus is on tablets designed to mix with water in a provided bottle or dispenser, transforming into effective cleaning products.
