Every week our team does an internal huddle where we share the most disruptive and interesting startups and emerging technologies from around the world. The only rule, is that they can’t directly solve a current client challenge. This way we retain our super-power of spotting creative adjacencies and disruptive outer-horizon solutions. I thought you might like a glimpse behind the VentureFuel curtain…
- Jupiter (no, not the planet) - Think Whole Foods x Instacart x Blue Apron where you can meal plan, shop, and get automated grocery list suggestions based on your previous purchases and predictive replenishment (yes, that gallon of milk 🥛 is expired!)
- Vipficated (“Verification as a service”, for reseller or second hand marketplaces to authenticate goods and products). Yes, those Air Jordans on EBay really are legit! 👟🏀
- Solight (funnel natural sunlight at the top of buildings throughout more dim areas of the building, boosting our moods with more rays of sunshine) 🌞
- Hearhere (learn about your surroundings 🌳 with audio and GPS based stories)
- Similar to hidden AR messages from Wallame out of Italy
- Zeekit (a virtual fitting room recently acquired by Walmart where you can digitally try on new outfits in the app. Time to go shopping!! 👗👛
- MTailor– similar in that you get customized clothes tailored to your body - no need for a professional tailor just use your smartphone 📱and give it a twirl as your measurements are captured from 16 different points) 👔
- Generation (sustainably sourced 🌏 and recycled jewelry pieces, it's that feel good bling 💎)
Meet Venturefuel
We do this every week, to insure we are ahead of our clients’ needs. OF course, for client work, every startup is deep-vetted and selected to solve for the KPIs that drive impact. If you have 20 minutes, I would love to discuss how startups can solve your current business challenges in new ways and how VF can be your secret weapon. Book a time with me here.
