The 20 Most Innovative Startups In Tech

ZocDoc is a way to book doctor appointments online.

I find this brilliant! I am an avid user of Opentable, which allows you make restaurant reservations, there are few things more frustrating then trying to match up your schedule with someone else’s during the phone, it an area where human interaction is simply not needed, booking online through a graphic schedule is so much simpler, see the open slots, click on the one you want, and that’s it, plain and simple. Brilliant, they should do all schedules like this. They should invent something that integrates your personal outlook calendar to anyone else’s and sets up and appointment. Google should get on this!

TaskRabbit is creating an on-demand workforce. It creates jobs and supplemental income.

This takes craiglist the next level, it’s great for people looking to make some extra cash without a long term commitment, a person may have an extra day off here or there.  Same thing for someone who needs a one time assist, not an expensive contractor with giant OH to pay for.

MoviePass is an all you can eat movie ticket solution. Pay $30 and see as many as you want per month in theaters.

Netflix for movie theaters, I like it. But will Movie theaters and studio be as willing to give up big box office revenue?

H.Bloom is a subscription service for flowers. It delivers to hotels and apartments, as well as to husbands who need help remembering anniversaries.

This has similar aspects to one of the projects in class.

Skillshare lets anyone teach a class to anyone who's willing to listen.

This is also similar to a project in class.

Joor makes it easy for boutiques to buy wholesale from designers.

It’s like a Wholesale Marshall’s, I like it.

Kickstarter is a way to raise money from the community

I was actually made aware by this site from one of my friends who is an aspiring film director, it’s actually a cool way of raising money, if the goal isn’t met, then all the donations get returned.

  1. This is a great article and Jonatas has taken time to explain it simply yet effectively. I remember Einstein quote - If you can't explain something simply, it means you haven't learnt well enough.
