With the age of technology upon us it is easy to think outside of the box. Startups have generally been left for the select few with knowledge and excessive amounts of drive. Today, though, with so much technology at your disposal it is easier that ever for people like us to get out from under the corporate fist and do our own things, in our own ways.
The sky is the limit when it comes to starting a business, but there are some specific types that will excel this year. Let’s take a peek at a few of them and see if any of them align with your ideas.
- Green-The environment is being polluted every day. Every hour. Every minute. People around the world feel the effects of it on their lives, and they want to do everything possible to decrease the footprints that they put upon the Earth. That means that they are looking to do business with companies that feel the way that they do. Any type of startup that deals with recycling, reusing, rebuilding, and so on, you get the point. If you can make the world a better place to live in any way your startup will flourish. They are the main startups that you need to keep an eye on.
- Underrepresented-This may be a confusing title, but an explanation is coming. Today’s society is pushing for better equality throughout the world. Not just in business, but in every aspect of life. You can look around and see all kinds of examples of discrimination, not just from one particular race either. All are responsible for it, and all need to move on as one. This also includes older members of society that get shoved into a corner, or worse yet a senior center. Any startup that addresses the issues that the underrepresented have, or that any group of people excluded from opportunities to achieve success have, will be successful. It honestly does not matter what type of business they start, as long as it addresses one problem with one group.
- Artificial Intelligence-This is one area that will boom in the future, because it is the future. The startups that have the funding, through iSelect partners or any other source of funding, will be able to take the world by storm. AI is now being used on internet platforms to answer customer questions, prepare, and finalize contracts, and some are even coming online to control entire manufacturing processes. In the near future most companies will have some form of AI working for them. Any startup that can offer any of these types of services, or programs, will be a step above everyone else.
- Travel-Being able to travel can be a hassle that many people do not want to undertake. Any startup that will wade through all the bureaucracy of the countries around the world will be extraordinarily successful. People want to be able to travel, but restrictions have been put into place that make it difficult, if not impossible, for some people. If a company comes on and takes care of everything needed and can direct the travelers towards all the paperwork, tests, and vaccines that they need to have, they will be the go-to travel agent. A company that can wrap up all the information into one little bundle of joy will come out wealthy.
Obviously, this is not the only startups that will make an impact upon the world this year, but they are some of the primary areas that we all need to keep an eye on. As the world continues to move towards more automated living startups will need to follow suit, and hopefully be a step ahead of the trends. The ones that think outside the norm will be the ones that succeed and succeed big.
