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.
