The world of business is a fascinating and stimulating place. So many businesses adopt the same business models, tactics, and methods across the board, and yet so many diverse and distinctive ideas exist amongst the business sphere. From owning a food franchise selling America’s next best taco’s to a pharmaceuticals company creating the best cure for insomnia, right through to making fun beds for dogs like a hot dog bun bed for a sausage dog, any concept can become an innovative and successful business. There’s always something new being inventing, and all it takes is an idea. Here are three of our favorite business ideas at the moment.
PopSockets
We are all so addicted to our cell phones. So much so, our pinkie fingers are being morphed in shape due to the weight of our cell phones resting on our fingers. Texting, tweeting, and Instagramming all day may be rewarding to our egos but is indeed tiring on our fingers. However, a small accessory created by the company PopSockets not only prevents this problem but provides a better grip when using your phone while also keeping your headphones untangled in style through a variety of different designs. Created by David Barnett, the former philosopher professor, PopSockets have had a three-year growth of 71.424%, which suggests there’s only more to come from this simple yet innovative business. It just goes to show how less really is more!
Klotho Therapeutics
Klotho is a protein which is produced naturally in the kidneys and is associated with influencing longevity, cognition, kidney function, as well as slowing the progression of diabetes and cancer. Due to this, entrepreneur and investor Jim Plante and his team had the idea and are now committed to commercializing Klotho protein to facilitate healthier aging for all. This could be one of the most progressive steps in pharmaceuticals this year as it could potentially increase life span and quality of life as we age. Plante’s business is currently in its early stages, but with its life-saving attributes and its potential ability to reduce the negatives of aging as well as other diseases, it is definitely one to look out for.
Fried Egg I’m In Love
Finally, on a light-hearted note, one of America’s most enticing upcoming businesses at the moment is a tiny truck and café in the heart of Portland. However, its innovative concept and light-hearted fun nature really make it unique amongst other food vendors across the US. Fried Egg I’m In Love is solely dedicated to dishes including eggs. Each choice on the menu has an eggy yet musical play on words from the likes of ‘Yolko Ono’ or the ‘Egg Zeppelin’ which makes the place truly stand out as one of Portland’s newest tourist attractions. Although quite a niche, it demonstrates how uniqueness makes for a successful business.
This is just a small selection of some of the best companies right now. Whether we’re eating eggs, curing kidney failure, or simply holding our phones differently, it’s clear how any idea (no matter how big or small) can make for an amazing and successful company.
