Every year, The Next Web holds hundreds of interviews with young startups in order to shortlist the cream of the crop and invite them to Boost, our early-stage growth program at The Next Web Conference.
With the eleventh edition of our flagship Amsterdam conference coming up in May, the TNW Events team has already conducted many interviews (but there’s still time to apply). As the Boost lineup grows, an impressive collection of promising startups from around the world is forming.
This week, we’ve selected 10 promising startups from the consumer sector. So whether you wish to virtually try on a dress before ordering it online or let a home barista in your vicinity brew you a delicious coffee, there’s bound to a service in this list for you.
