Happy Halloween! In celebration of this holiday, we went in search of the most \u201cspooky\u201d startups we could find. These startups may seem a little unusual at first glance, but they are all super innovative! <\/p>\n

In the startup world, there are different types of thought processes when it comes to a unique idea for a startup. Where some have a commercial or technical startup, others think a little further outside of the box. From reusing human hair to building your own coffin, some entrepreneurs are incredibly creative. Here are some very cool startups with a unique twist! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Let’s start first with Human Material Loop<\/a>: the startup that uses hair to supply the textile industry with new fabrics. The company has been processing its scraps into sustainable materials since 2021. This process may be a bit unconventional, but it is a unique, circular way to make fabrics. How does Human Material Loop make textiles out of human hair? First, the startup collects hair and cleans it. Then, using a sustainable chemical process, the hair is made suitable for making fabrics for clothing. Very circular! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Assembling your own coffin? Uitvaartland.nl<\/a> has given the coffin a new look by letting you build one yourself. Sounds spooky, but what does this actually mean? Uitvaartland.nl’s coffins use an IKEA building method to provide people with a more sustainable and cheaper funeral. This coffin is an innovative way to make the funeral industry more affordable. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

During spooky season, it’s a given that you’ll see ghosts everywhere; as Halloween decorations, of course. Still want to see a ‘real’ ghost in your own home? You can with the Hauntify Mixed Reality app by David Montecalvo of VisualGo. Once you pair this app with a VR headset, you walk through your own home and ghosts are projected around you. Quite a scare, although they are not real of course. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
