From Springwise:
It's time for your weekly fix of entrepreneurial ideas! Our latest issue is now online. Here's
a quick run-down of the promising new businesses featured on Springwise this week:
Mobile gaming theatres pop up at birthday parties
Lifestyle & leisure
Although video games and laser tag are a popular choice for kids’
parties, getting the kids to venues can be more hassle than it’s worth.
The solution? A mobile gaming theatre.
Crowd efforts make parliament videos searchable
Government / Media & publishing / Non-profit, social cause
Video clips of debates in Britain's House of Commons can now be
text-searched, thanks to a new initiative to link official parliament
transcripts with video footage from BBC Parliament.
Work spaces for women entrepreneurs
Lifestyle & leisure
In Good Company offers women who are launching and growing their
own businesses a place to work, meet and learn, provides members
with everything they need to impress a client or just get work done.
More luxury loos, now for members only
Marketing & advertising
At the recent Outside Lands festival, those in possession of a Visa
Signature card had access to private luxury restrooms a far cry above
the porta-potties provided for the masses.
Enlisting the crowds to resolve marital disputes
Lifestyle & leisure / Media & publishing
For couples with no clear resolution to disagreements, a new site
offers a way for each partner to tell their side of the story anonymously
and let the crowds decide who's to blame.
Ticketing marketplace makes prices negotiable
Entertainment
Working on the premise that tickets are commodities, and should be
traded as such, Los Angeles-based Zigabid allows ticket buyers and
sellers to interact directly with each other to determine a ticket's price.
A being space for learning English
Education
Hamburg-based Language Lounge combines English lessons with
a coffee shop. Like a gym membership, there's no need to sign up for
a fixed day or time -- members just join in whenever it's convenient.
Mix and match magazine service
Media & publishing
Maghound members don't subscribe to a fixed set of magazines.
Instead, they pick the number of magazines they'd like to receive every
month, and can then change the selection of titles as often as they like.
