The top July 2019 new ventures include a range of ideas that help with everything from keeping one's fridge stocked with groceries to simplifying the process of purchasing an engagement ring to hotels that offer entirely vegan-friendly accommodations in line with growing interests in cruelty-free, plant-based living.
One of the most disruptive start-ups is Atoms, which is reinventing how the footwear industry operates by offering a completely customizable sizing system, complete with shoes in half-sizes, as well as left and right shoes that can be purchased in slightly different sizes as needed. Another business to watch is Valet Storage, which is reshaping the way consumers use self-storage services by offering a completely on-demand model that better caters to consumers—especially in urban settings—with pick-up services as they are needed.
