Springwise newsletter | New business ideas for entrepreneurial minds

Hi Raquelle,

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:


A flat Graze box and a red mugHealthy snacks, delivered by mail in serving sizes
Food & beverage

A new UK company sells natural and nutritious edibles that are
delivered by mail in just the right sizes, and according to a customer-
defined weekly schedule.


Pile of boxesMatching buyers and sellers of cardboard boxes
Life hacks / Eco & sustainability

Anyone who's ever moved has experienced the Quest for Boxes,
involving either significant expense for new shipping boxes or
countless trips to stores and restaurants in search of usable discards.

Earlier this year we covered customizable energy bars from Los
Angeles-based YouBar, and recently a similar contender out of the
Midwest crossed our proverbial path.

No sooner did we cover two mobile bars that popped up in Singapore
than one of our spotters alerted us to yet another pop-up innovation: a
mobile spa that launched at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Media & publishing / Education

Inspired by the way Wikipedia changed the encyclopedia with its
online format and user-contributed content, a new digital dictionary
