From college students at top universities to Silicon Valley tech enthusiasts, many people have been inspired to act on their ideas and create their own businesses. Lately, there have been a few startups that have become popular amongst the public. These startups range from apps helping performers find gigs to HR platforms and even the next Über. With latest rounds of funding oftentimes bringing in over 10 million dollars, these small companies are making a splash in the business world.

“Could GetAround actually become the next Über?” GetAround is a startup app that has changed the way we think by combining rental car services and Über’s concept. The app lets you rent cars from other users in your area. Instead of using rental car companies like Budget or Avis, anyone can just rent from a friend or acquaintance in their area. Since receiving their funding of $24 million, GetAround has seen considerable growth in both revenue and user base. The number of cars added per week has increased by a multiple of six since last year. This startup is reaching new heights in the business world.

Postmates is another unique startup that has sought to improve our daily lives. Now valued at $500 million, this company has taken a different approach on food delivery. Fundamentally, the startup hires couriers who offer delivery services from shops and restaurants that typically do not deliver. So if you were desperately craving a cupcake but mom was not home with the car, you could call someone to order it and deliver it to your house. Or if you were hosting a party and needed more food but could not leave, then you could use Postmates to bring it to you. This is a revolutionary idea that is going to change our economy. Postmates is currently located in San Francisco, California and has a latest funding of $80 million.

The success of these startups and more could bring further fundamental change to our economy, like that wrought by better known and much larger startups like Uber and Airbnb.
