Top 30 New Ventures Trends in October

From CBD Sampling Boxes to Cloud Gaming Services

These October 2020 new ventures trends range from CBD sampling boxes to cloud gaming services.

Standouts include the CBD Samples Club, a subscription that lets consumers test out products to determine what formulation works best for them. The subscription was launched to "demystify the discovery process and help adults find the right products for their unique needs," giving people a chance to "discover different brands and try a variety of delivery methods."

Amazon new cloud gaming service Luna is another notable example that is designed for instant and immersive play. The gaming service ensures that consumers won't have to deal with "lengthy downloads or updates, expensive hardware or complicated configuration," to create the most enjoyable experience possible.
