Official launch of ‘Springwise: Spot the next Starbucks, Ebay or IKEA.
Springwise is the first company in the world to systematically spot and report on new business ideas, concepts, and ventures from more than 20 countries worldwide.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands – January 13 2003
Many (budding) entrepreneurs, marketers, consultants and other business professionals know the feeling: youre somewhere abroad for work or leisure and you spot the perfect new business idea. In fact, some of these ideas are so good youre tempted to cut short your trip, head home and start-up a new company or division.
With the official launch of Springwise (http://www.springwise.com), a company that scans the world for the most promising proven new business ideas, concepts, and ventures, spotting new business ideas has become within reach of anyone.
Findings are reported in a free, monthly newsletter. In its first 6 weeks of beta-launch, this newsletter (http://www.springwise.com/newsletter/newsletter.html) already attracted subscribers from more than 80 countries, confirming the appeal of (and need for) a global spotting source for new ‘offline and ‘online business ideas.
Making use of a network of 25 ‘Springspotters in 20 countries, and scanning more than 100 offline and online business sources on an ongoing basis, Springwise is the first company in the world to provide this service.
Says Springwise Founder Reinier Evers (previously with AGENCY.COM, and founder of Urbanbite.com): "When we were thinking about a new start-up venture, looking for the Next Big Thing in business, we noticed that no one actually specialized in spotting and indexing the hundreds of potential ‘Next Big Things that continuously pop up all over the world . Yet the desire amongst entrepreneurs, Fortune 500 marketers, analysts, MBA students and Business Development Managers to find out about these developments is enormous. And in our current global economy, any new idea that does well in, for example, Seattle, will almost automatically do well in dozens of other countries. To deliver such content, you need a worldwide network people spotting promising developments, the capacity to scan a massive number of business magazines, web sites, and other publications, and a platform to communicate these findings to a globally fragmented audience. Springwise is doing all of this, as we speak."
