Top Tech Startups in Earth in 2024

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.

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.

Sally's mission is to become the most trusted vehicle and service provider in the transportation industry. We provide vehicles on a flexible basis to professional rideshare drivers looking for best-in-class support and service. The rapid growth in the on-demand economy has accelerated the movement towards data-driven transportation. In the same way that ridesharing platforms use data to help passengers efficiently get from point A to point B, Sally uses data to inform vehicle usage. We leverage data from our vehicles, drivers, public APIs to inform our business decisions. This approach enables us to incentivize driver safety, reduce insurance costs, and maximize the value of our assets. Drive better, earn more.
