20 Young Companies Solving Critical
Industry Challenges
Small Companies Solving Big Challenges.
At GreyB, we’ve spent over 15 years working closely with innovators across industries to find viable solutions to critical industry challenges. Over time, we noticed a recurring issue: many niche and early-stage startups solving these challenges remain unknown. Because their groundbreaking ideas haven’t yet reached a wider audience.
In 2024, we set out to change that. Evaluating over 2000 startups, we identified the 20 that aren’t just thinking differently—they’re solving the challenges that matter today and pushing industries forward.

Current Industry Impact
Is the startup solving specific industry or process challenges in measurable ways? Is it relevant to current market needs, and does it contribute to improving efficiency, reducing costs, or enhancing sustainability?
Transformative Potential
Can the solution scale across industries or larger markets? Is it adaptable to different use cases? Does it have the potential to address broader challenges? Are there any implementation hurdles? And how feasible is its application in diverse scenarios?
Using over 20+ parameters, this framework provides startups with proven results,
