Crowdfunding is an increasingly popular way to gain funds as well as support for many individuals and companies. People use it as a method to achieve all sorts of goals and to gain enough money to open any kind of company. Typically, would-be producers utilize crowdsourcing to fund the creation of a company, a project, or a line of products, but a startup called Gustin looks to employ it as a means of backing the creation of individual products. In the same way that crowdfunding brings together creators and potential consumers on a more personal level and gets individuals involved, Gustin does so for particular items. Its niche is menswear, and its creators intend it to change the way men buy clothes by creating a fully crowdfunded model for determining which jeans it makes. Gustin’s focus is exclusively on high quality clothing, and its model cuts out a lot of the cost to make it more affordable. 
Ordering food for a large group of people is never an easy thing because many people have very particular orders, and orders for large groups can take a great deal of time and effort to complete. Not only that, but the more a list includes, the more likely it is that something will be made incorrectly. People can choose only one restaurant or, alternatively, send someone out to several different restaurants to fulfill an order. This can be more costly than necessary, particularly for a business. Fortunately, there is Foodjunky, a web based food-ordering platform that handles online ordering for groups of people. It helps large groups make orders from restaurants, simplifying the error-prone process of one person relaying many food orders to another over a phone line. Unlike other services that help groups order food, Foodjunky allows users to choose from restaurants, delivery options, cuisine type, and more.

Eating healthy on a budget seems to be much more difficult than it should be. While some whole foods stores and markets have the healthy items we want, they can be a great deal more expensive than the lower quality foods found at any supermarket. Conversely, the typical supermarket has lower prices, but it does not have much of a selection of the healthier kinds of foods many people want. Wholeshare is a solution to this dilemma, serving as what its creators call an online marketplace for local and sustainable food. It helps those who find that reaching the balance between quality and price is a challenge to achieve, offering higher quality foods cheaply. Wholeshare makes it possible to bring food that is both healthy and affordable to individuals and their local communities.
