Startup ideas(some of the best successful startups)...

SureBids

SureBids wants to extend the gift card market to Africa. People can send gift cards that can be used for groceries, topping off mobile phones and also paying utility bills, among others.
The company already works with a series of partners like Samsung and Jumia — where the team came from — and operates in three cities. With Africa’s economy quickly becoming one of the biggest opportunities for large tech companies, gift cards actually offer an interesting vector to getting brand awareness and gain customers in the continent.




Squadle

Squadle is building two solutions to help restaurateurs better manage operations and compliance. The company is producing a wireless zone thermometer to collect real-time data and a “checklist” device that lets restaurant owners manage day to day operations off of a tablet to replace old-school paperwork. Squadle already has relationships with eight of the 50 largest chains as it looks to address a $4.5 trillion dollar market.





OnFarm
The seven person OnFarm team is building an agtech platform to help farmers grow more food to keep up with global demand. Companies like Ocean Spray and Anheuser Busch are already using OnFarm to manage their data needs. The software is particularly timely given the proliferation of real-time agricultural drone data. The team cites $30,000 in monthly recurring revenue and believes its platform can help farmers aggregate data from disparate platforms with a single minimalistic solution.





Voxeet

Conference calls are terrible. Really. We will buy drinks for whoever fixes the experience.
Voxeet wants to take a crack at it, at least. The company builds a conference calling experience where users can “move” the people around, and that alters the direction and volume of the sound they make. For example, you can move someone to the right on the screen, and their sound will come from your right speaker or headphone.

The goal is to make the calls less confusing, with less interfering voices. Also, you can finally move that really loud participant away from you without having to yell at them for being too loud.


HeavyConnect

HeavyConnect is latching on to the agtech trend of 2016 with a new tool to take regulatory, compliance, and fleet management online and out of the digital dark ages. Dole, Driscoll, and Green Giant are already using HeavyConnect in the field today to facilitate collaborative workflows and streamline employee management. Founder Patrick Zelaya previously spent nine years working sales for John Deere, and his hope is that farmers will be able to spend more time in the field and less time attached to their desks.












Outsite

Working in shared spaces in homes in Silicon Valley has its advantages. You’re right next to bigger companies, can find some new talent, and are right in the investor community.
But for the same price, those people looking to work in those co-working and co-living spaces could easily rent out a place on a beach in Santa Cruz. Sure, you lose the benefits of being in a geographic location, but Outsite is hoping to build the same kinds of communities that those cramped spaces have.
There’s another potential opportunity here as well — company retreats.


Arthur Health

Not only does Arthur Health want to provide internet of things solutions for pharmaceuticals, it also wants to become its own pharmacy someday. The company’s philosophy is that the drug industry is still operating using archaic technologies that are having a real impact on the health and safety of regular people. Arthur Health’s smart pill bottles can track doses and send reminders at low cost to maximize market adoption.





INZMO

If you wanted to get renter’s insurance for your furniture or expensive devices, you might have to go through your bank. INZMO wants to relieve the difficulty a little bit by serving as a go-between for insurance companies and smartphone owners.
Users can incrementally insure the things they own, from computers and devices to bikes and travel insurance. Users pick the package and take a photo of the asset they want to insure, and then save a card to keep those covered on a recurring basis.
There are going to be plenty of challenges here — like avoiding fraud and managing regulatory issues as it expands — but incrementally insuring the things you own through an app seems like a good starting point.
