Top Tech Business Ideas

Sergey Nikonenko
COO at Purrweb

Dreaming of entrepreneurship and want to make your own product? Have you decided on a million dollar tech idea yet? If not, set aside the excitement. Now it's more important not to come up with a unique product, but to solve the user's problem. UX design for startups — process which requires participation of the experienced team and understanding how to promote your product.

COVID-19 showed us how many things can be done online. To realize your business ambitions, there are two options:

  • create a new product to solve a problem,
  • become a startupper and make your own product.

We've prepared a list of tech startup ideas and told how to check yours for relevance and determine when to start "doing", not just "dreaming". For more convenience, we've divided the ideas into niches, so feel free to use the table of contents on the right.

IoT (Internet of things)

Many of us have some kind of smart device. For example, using a smartwatch you can check your health indicators, or a smart air conditioner can ventilate the room before you get there. But now the Internet of Things is evolving to ease the burden in many areas of our lives.

Here is an example from us: Vendify — a tech app for smart refrigerators. The customers came to us with an idea: the user comes to the refrigerator, scans the QR code on it and sees the items inside. Then he selects the necessary products, picks them up from the refrigerator and does not think about paying — the app charges off the money from the card independently. And that’s all. And no queues.

What other tech startups ideas are there in this area?

1) Patient monitoring

Remote patient monitoring is one of the most relevant tech business ideas in the healthcare industry. It's impossible to cure chronic diseases, and there's no opportunity to put a doctor to observe each patient. The device will measure, display and record blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate. And if any of the indicators goes off from the norm, the device will inform the doctor about it.

2) Smart sensors in manufacture

IoT devices can monitor production processes. This way you can quickly find out why the quality of products has decreased or deliveries have been delayed. Manufacturing companies in the United States use these installations and plan to convert more institutions to electronic monitoring systems. So routine production processes will be performed using robots connected to the Internet of things.

3) Cash systems

One of the most forward-looking tech startup ideas in the retail sector is the self-checkout. You’ve probably seen them in, for example, Leroy Merlin. Each item has an electronic tag that the sensor system reads when you put it at the pay machine. This approach helps to increase sales — you can make purchases faster and reduce the cost of maintaining cashiers.

4) Smart shelves

Smart shelves is a technology business idea that can track positions at the store and save time for workers. If an item is missing from the shelf, the device will send a request for restocking. Smart shelves will also note if the price tag does not match the position and fix thefts.

Smart devices in the sales area help store owners save money on running their business. With their help, buyers can find the product that they need, find out characteristics or check if there is an item in the stock. But the coolest thing is that robots can speak any language! If you’ve ever wanted to launch a robotics startup, this idea might appeal to you.

5) Big data storage and analysis

The Internet of things will help managers make decisions about the future development of the enterprise. Progr
