Peas and Love is a French urban farming startup whose mission is to help people reconnect with nature and the world around us. They hope to bring vegetable growing plots to the heart of urban neighbourhoods so that people can grow their own food with the help of a pro if necessary. The startup has 8 gardens established in Paris and Brussles where cities people can rent gardening parcels for €38 per month, with a selection of over 60 fruit and vegetables to grow. The garden parcels are maintained by an on-site community farmer to help people out. Some of the gardens are on roofs, and some at ground level. All are fabulous. The startup’s app lets growers know when their crops are ready to harvest and also notifies them of activities they can participate in to learn more about their vegetable patch. The team raised €1.2 million in Series A funding in 2018, and plan to have 100 farms across Europe. @peasandlove_urbanfarm #urbanfarming #urbanfarm #bruxelles #peasandlove #growyourownveg #growyourown #gyostartup #vegetablestartup

Dutch startup Meatable has found a way to help eco-conscious customers that are struggling to ditch meat for the good of the planet. “We want to satisfy the world’s appetite for meat without harming people, animals or the plant. While the market for artificial, cruelty-free meat is booming, Meatable is setting itself apart from its peers by being one of the first to focus on pork rather than beef, with opti-ox technology speeding up production from months to days. First they take a sample from an unharmed cow or pig. Then they replicate the natural process of fat and muscle growth, and mix the two elements together to produce meat. A key difference from normal meat production is, while it takes a cow around three years to develop enough meat to be slaughtered, they can do the whole thing in three weeks. @itsmeatable #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurlifestyle #entrepreneurlife #businessgrowth #businesstips #microbusiness #microbusinessowner #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #businessopportunity #businessopportunities #businessowner #smallbiz #PrivateEquity #Angelinvestor #GetFunded #VentureCapital #Bootstrapping �

Cow-Shed have been taking a break from IG during the #lockdown2020. We have transitioned over to a fully virtual office with several websites being developed and put live during lockdown . Now all our face to face consulting sessions are happening virtually. We are finding the numbers of people considering starting their own business is really accelerating. Feedback on our virtual Business Model session is that it is invaluable for checking out whether a business idea really is viable. We've also been having a lot of fun with a new vegetable patch and a Chicken Startup prompted by the impossibility of finding any fresh eggs at the beginning of lockdown. We added a few chickens to our flock and now the eggs are coming thick and fast! #chickenstartup #lockdownlife #lockdownstartups #virtualconsulting #virtualwebdevelopment #virtualwebsites #virtualbusiness support

Crowdfunding is a popular way for startup businesses to raise finance. Crowd Racing uses this approach to create an affordable way for anyone to own a share of a race horse with some of the top trainers in the UK and abroad. Racehorse trainers and syndicates can use Crowd Racing to create a pitch for a horse they want to put into training. The “crowd” then buy shares, or equity, in these horses to fund their training and racing. Benefits include a share in any prize money, share in proceeds if your horse is sold, stable visits and race days. Crowdcube provide the technology behind the Crowd Racing website. This sounds a wonderful way to enjoy the races.

French startup clim8 is an intelligent thermal technology startup creating clothing that knows how and when to keep its wearers warm. clim8 uses tiny sensors in their clothing to monitor the wearer’s skin temperature as well as outside temperatures and air humidity. It also has special heating components weaved into the yarn of the clothing so they can’t be seen. When the comfort temperature drop, the sensors activate the heating components to warm the fabric just as much as necessary. Wearers can also override the sensors using an app. “The need for intelligent clothing has been obvious for a long time,” says Florian Miguet, CEO of clim8. “People want stay warm when it’s too cold and cool when it’s too warm. And that’s why we are here. As everyone has a different sensibility to cold, (this is) a solution which is truly personalized and adapted to everyone specificity.It’s a shirt which allows your body to always stay at the right temperature – regardless of the weather or what activity you are doing.” #intelligenttextiles #skiwear #skiclothes #keepingwarm #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #businessinaday #inaday #oneday #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurlifestyle #entrepreneurlife #leanstartup #leansixsigma #sixsigma #startup #businessstartup #startupbusiness #cowshedstartup #startuplife #opportunity #businessopportunity #businessopportunities #guildford #surrey #surreyhills #wimbledonvillage #cranleigh

KeVita startup manufactures a range of products all based on the health benefits of probiotics - including sparkling probiotics, kombucha and vinegar tonics. PepsiCo initially took a minority stake and distribution deal in KeVita and then decided to acquire the natural beverage manufacturer to acquire a health-conscious drink to complement its traditional soft drinks which consumers were turning away from. KeVita's slogan Revitalise from the Inside was exactly the emotional brand image PepsiCo was looking for. Indry Nooyi, chairwoman and CEO of PepsiCo realised that it was important to allow KeVita to continue to operate independently - rather than following the trend of larger companies making changes to the smaller company they purchase. KeVita really understands kombucha and its fermentation process so it made sense for them to keep their original marketing department and sales people. Instead PepsiCo have focussed on helping with distribution channels, increasing KeVita's reach. As Joel McMinn, KeVita senior manager says :They’ve definitely opened up a lot of doors for us. Not saying there isn't any pushback from some of our retailers that don't like the big corporate.” Following the takeover, PepsiCo hope to double KeVita's sales this year. #healthstartup #kombucha #probiotics #healthtonics #startupdrinks #marketing #socialmedia #inspiration #success #motivation #successful #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurlifestyle #entrepreneurlife #Startup #Businessstartup #Startupbusiness #Startuplife #startupworld #Startupchecklist #Startuptips #Techstartup #StartupGrind #startupadvice #leanstartup #theleanstartup #leansixsigma
