This is my last article in 2021 about where to find the best startups to invest in. What a journey it has been, mentioning a plethora of startups have started their equity crowdfunding campaign in various industries. I highlighter companies in many different stages, ranging from recently funded to closing soon.

As always, the starting point for finding the best startups to invest in is to have due diligence, a complete understanding of the risks involved, and a certainty that these promising investment opportunities are 100% suitable to your risk tolerance and investment philosophy. I dare to say that, unlike most crypto coins that are highly speculative with little to no fundamentals at all to support their prices, the startups presented during various articles have great potential to become disruptors in their industries. This is another key factor when considering them as alternative investments.

For this article, seven companies that just recently launched their equity crowdfunding campaigns are presented. The journey into 2022 with new insights on private investing is set to continue.

Let’s look at seven of the best startups to consider now:

• Geoship
• Excursion Van Rentals
• Phyt Health
• TalkSocket by TalkGo
• WOWCube® Entertainment System by Cubios
• Signature Athletics, Inc
• Bond Containers

Best Startups: Geoship

Topics such as healthy and sustainable green energy have become very important as we try to address climate change. Geoship is manufacturing bioceramic domes to disrupt the homebuilding industry with healthy, sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

Built with zero-carbon ceramics and precision-engineered components, these bioceramic domes are more than just earth-friendly houses. They are 100% non-toxic, disaster-resistant such as fireproof, and have a 500-year life — enough for you, your children, and many generations to come. There are infinite possibilities to use these domes, and they are redefining the meaning of living in complete harmony with the environment.

Other than fire, these bioceramic domes are also resistant to extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.

The affordability of these housing solutions is also a feature not to be ignored, especially as prices for traditional houses in the U.S. market have increased substantially due to the resilient housing market and its rebound amid the pandemic.

The business model supports vertically integrated homebuilding, limiting the numerous material supply chains used in more traditional houses. These ceramic domes cover multi-dimensional needs from affordable housing to wellness housing.

Excursion Van Rentals

What if mobile hospitality and booking a hotel room on wheels were easy, fun, and adventurous? Excursion Van Rentals designs custom camper vans with full amenities, built and optimized for renting.

The company estimates that “glamping” could be worth $4.8 billion by 2025 and is positioning itself in this business opportunity in the adventure travel space. The pandemic has caused new trends to appear in the travel industry, and camping is gaining popularity in the U.S.

The customized excursion campers are a hotel room on the move. They have ” solar panels, deep-cycle lithium battery packs, heating, refrigeration, a fully equipped kitchen, a bed, ample storage, and an outdoor shower.” They also have one element that is priceless to traveling — a unique view that can change daily if you move to different locations and ultimate freedom to explore new sceneries.

These excursion vans are built in-house by Excursion Van Rentals, controlling their costs. The average nightly rate is about $200.

Millennials have embraced and become the fastest-growing new camper demographic and are expected to support the experience economy, an economy where there is a preference to spend money on a desirable experience or an event over buying something physical. Live event excursions are parts of this experience economy, which is expected to reach $12 billion by 2023.

Excursion Van Rentals plan to expand to other adventures soon, letting people try kayaking, horseback riding, and wine tasting.

Best Startups: Phyt Health

By using computer vision and AI-based technology, patients can expedite their recovery process as this mobile app tracks the exercises done at home in real time.

The various applications of Phyt Health in medical practices, clinics and hospitals can generate additional revenue for medical health practitioners.

Best Startups: Bond Containers

The second sustainable housing company in this list of the best startups is Bond Containers. The company raises an interesting question “why build or purchase a home without backup safety precautions?” What it means is that unfortunately, traditional homes are subject to troubles from extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes and natural disasters.

Bond Containers manufactures homes that look good and are not only affordable, but safe. These homes can stand up to strong winds and are eco-friendly, supporting sustainability. In the event of either losing power or clean water due to extreme weather, these homes provide solar panels for electricity and a water system.
