These April 2019 new ventures innovations range from student entrepreneur clubs to beauty retail credit cards. While standouts like Student Tank -- a "digital student business discount membership platform" -- aim to help students take advantage of entrepreneurship opportunities while completing their studies, Sephora's new credit card unlocks a variety of exciting perks for makeup lovers.
Other new ventures innovations to note include WorksBeauty's simple and efficient skincare products which are exclusively sold on Amazon. The skincare range was specially designed to address common concerns with products inspired by skincare-specific search terms.
Coachella's Amazon Lockers partnership is another standout that allows for festival deliveries to members, making one's music festival experience more personalized, comfortable and convenient than ever before.
