Top Internet Startups in 2024

Schmooze (stalk us @ schmoozedating.com) is a Dating App that matches people based on their taste of Memes and is poised to be THE dating App for GenZs! One solution to 2 problems. You're bored? Schmooze. You're Lonely? Schmooze. Hotel? Trivago. We have some nice things said about us by TechCrunch, Product Hunt, Hype Beast, and various other media outlets and podcasts. We combine machine learning and memes to connect people based on a humour algorithm which removes looks/objectification as the criterion for matching and makes the process more personality-based. We do this by using tagging and machine learning, combined with the bios that users create for themselves. Along with our collaboration with Ivy-league universities such as Harvard, Stanford, etc., we have secured seed funding to the tune of $3.3 Million from Lightspeed Venture Partners (Investors in Snapchat, ShareChat, etc.) and Graph Ventures (investors of HouseParty, Hinge).

Divvy Homes is a tech-enabled real estate platform that facilitates rent-to-own home purchases. Divvy is backed by GIC, Lennar, Caffeinated Capital, a16z, SciFi VC. Divvy was incubated in Max Levchin's startup studio HVF by Adena Hefets, previously of Square, and Brian Ma, previously of Zillow - along with cofounders Nick Clark and Alex Klarfeld. We founded Divvy to make homeownership, and all the power that comes with it, accessible to everyone. Because a home of your own isn’t just a resting place. It’s freedom, and it’s security. It’s a legacy—and a chance to build wealth for everyone who comes after you.

Snackpass is building the social layer for local commerce, starting with restaurants. We believe that in 5 years, restaurants will be entirely cashier-less. Snackpass mobile order and kiosk are the next generation of the in-store customer experience, replacing traditional registers. We enable mobile ordering, group buying, and social rewards for users. On our platform, restaurants grow their brand by converting offline purchasers into digital followers, while saving on labor costs. image While we’ve seen the rise of online delivery apps, delivery makes up less than 10% of the restaurant market. The rest — takeout and dine-in — is a $600B market that remains offline, anonymous, and on the verge of disruption. There is an opportunity to make these offline transactions digital, self-service, and connected, and we’re leading this movement. Snackpass is one the largest social commerce platforms in the US, one of the fastest growing marketplaces, and a top 100 YC company. And we've built this with a team of under 40 people. The environment at Snackpass is high impact, fast paced, and empowering for everyone. We are growing fast and looking for hungry and humble builders to join us in any of our hubs (NYC, SF, LA) or remotely.

Dating app for open-minded couples & singles. Neither a sport nor an endgame. We believe nothing is more unpredictable or less binary than human desire. This is why we created Feeld: a space where the curious and open-minded come together.

Kovo is on a mission to help underserved Americans transform their financial lives. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the rewards of economic independence. By facilitating access to credit through a first-of-its-kind financial empowerment platform, we are committed to helping those who need it most — people with limited or no access to credit because they don’t look like everyone else. Our movement is championing an accessible pathway toward financial inclusion.

Boulton & Watt is perhaps the world's slowest startup incubator. We build one company at a time with focused execution and high success rates. We don't start 10 companies per year. We don't fund entrepreneurs-in-residence with a deck and a check. We think product-market fit is a hard problem and we don't think it can be industrialized or handed off - but it is possible to solve repeatedly. We get in the guts and build the thing from day zero. Most of the work of a scientist isn't generating hypotheses, it's running experiments to get the data. That's what we do. Once we've created real traction, we partner with best-in-class operators to create a second founding moment to scale the company. That's because the skills at each stage of a startup are different, even if vesting schedules pretend they're the same. We aim for unreasonable speed with each portfolio company while making decisions at Boulton & Watt like we're going to be in business for decades. We go long: building networks of talented people we someday hope to work with, waiting patiently for businesses to compound, and preferring to make the pie bigger for everyone instead of owning all of a small pie of our own.
