2019 is the year of the disruptor, and there has never been a better time to work for a startup firm than now.
If you’re considering ditching big business and want to make a change, here are five hot startups that are disrupting the market and offering you the chance to work in an exciting environment at the same time.
1. Lyft
Uber became of the world’s first Tech Unicorns, going from a small niche app to an enormous billion-dollar company. With innovation comes competition, and this is what Lyft brings in spades.
Lyft offers better prices to riders and crucially better conditions for the drivers to work under. This is surely a win-win situation for everyone involved.
2. Toast
The restaurant business has been notoriously difficult for decades. Large overheads such and rent and labor costs cut into profits. There is also the problem of consumer taste, which seems to change with the wind these days.
Toast was set up to help with the issues that restaurants have to manage day-in-day-out. It allows restaurant general managers to streamline the ordering of ingredients, manage payroll, and many other key functions, on a single platform.
There are currently job openings in Boston, Cincinnati, and Knoxville, so make sure to visit their website if you currently live in any of these cities.
3. Instacart
With more pressure on your time than ever before, online shopping can be a brilliant way to save yourself some time. This is where Instacart comes into the picture.
Instacart allows you to browse through thousands of different products on your mobile device or at your laptop before organizing a same-day delivery right to your doorstep.
The rapid delivery service is already available in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and many other cities throughout the US.
The good news is that there are numerous positions now open at Instacart Headquarters. This means you can join one of the country’s fastest-growing companies (and maybe get a little discount on your groceries too).
4. Bumble
Dating apps have exploded over the past years, with more than 49% of users searching for an exclusive relationship on dating apps in 2019. This shows how far the usage and perception of these platforms have changed.
Bumble is one of the new kids on the block and is certainly one of the best. This is because Bumble has changed the game by placing the power back into the hands of the female app users.
Unlike on apps like Tinder, users cannot begin to start conversations on Bumble, even when two users have matched, unless the female user initiates a chat first.
This prevents male users continuously swiping right and turning the app into a numbers game.
Keep an eye out for jobs at Bumble, as they are set to grow and grow.
5. Coinbase
Cryptocurrencies have become a huge business in the past decade. But as we all know, they can be risky, as regulations have not caught up with the value of the assets at stake.
We’ve all heard the horror stories of millions of dollars in Bitcoins disappearing into the ether.
Coinbase allows its users to safely store all of these currencies in one place, for safekeeping. It’s a no-brainer if you want to invest in these new digital currencies.
Hot Startups Exist in Every Industry
The good news is that whatever you were doing before, these hot startups are right around the corner in your town. They could want your talents to help them build for the future.
