Top 100 New Ventures Trends in March

From Sneaker Collection Insurance to NFT-Based Dating Apps

— March 5, 2022 — Business
The March 2022 new venture trends consist of a variety of novel business developments happening in a diverse range of industries. From the emergence of circular fashion startups to the launch of artist-focused neobanks and DNA-based dieting apps, there was certainly no shortage of exciting endeavors in the world of business this month.

Of course, many of the most notable new venture developments came from the semi-unified space of blockchain, NFTs, and the metaverse. For example, Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten launched its first NFT marketplace called Rakuten NFT, while Entrupy introduced Entrupy Brij, a convenient and easy-to-use tool for minting NFTs based on physical objects.

However, a standout example within this space came from an announcement by Vice Media Group, a media and news publication targeted towards Millennial and Gen Z audiences. The company unveiled 'Viceverse,' its first virtual headquarters located inside the metaverse, which it will use to host virtual meetings with clients and collobarotros.
