Top 50 New Ventures Trends in December

From Metaverse Startup Hubs to Shop-Anywhere Super Apps

The most popular December 2021 new ventures include gamified virtual reality therapy modalities, selfie-based metaverses and lab-like futuristic restaurants focused on experimentation.

Companies across all industries are getting in on the NFT craze and unique new platforms are being created to support an ever-growing community of collectors. While Curios sets itself apart as a hybrid platform that offers both smart contracts and off-chain bidding technologies, others are launching NFTs that give owners access to exclusive memberships and clubs. And in New York City, Coffee Bros. is crowdfunding support for a first-of-its-kind cafe with non-fungible tokens.

With new kinds of features to support users monetarily, social media platforms are preparing for Web 3.0 and the rise of the creator economy.
