- For a long time, if you wanted to find your favorite startup anywhere outside of its own website, you were out of luck.
- Slowly, they’re beginning to join online retailers like Target and Nordstrom to make it easier for you to find and shop their innovative products.
- Amazon is another popular choice. It’s the most far-reaching and convenient platform for you to buy nearly anything you want.
- So if new mattresses, bedding and bath products, clothing, and accessories are on your list, go ahead and shop the following 15 startups on Amazon.
In the world of online retail in the US, you can’t get any bigger than Amazon.
As startups begin to look beyond their own websites and diversify their selling options, some choose Target as their main traditional retailer, while others flock to Nordstrom, all in hopes of attracting a very specific type of customer.
But the pure reach, convenience, and customer service army of Amazon make it the obvious choice for many startups. Some companies, like Casper, are actually available on all three shopping sites, in addition to its own, an aggressive strategy that surely improves its brand exposure.
Starting off on Amazon is a great stepping stone to more exposure and customers because the majority of online shoppers are already on Amazon. If they can shop interesting new products alongside the familiar brands and supplies they’re buying anyway, they will.
It also helps that most of these startup products are available with Prime shipping, allowing them to bypass slower shipping speeds offered elsewhere.
If you need to update your personal care routine, mattress, or closet, these 15 startups on Amazon have you covered.
Shop Brooklinen bedding on Amazon here.
Despite the many bedding startups now circulating in the market, Brooklinen remains one of our favorites for perfectly balancing value and quality.

Ethique
Shop Ethique personal care products on Amazon here.
There’s not a bottle in sight in eco-friendly brand Ethique’s line of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

The risk-free, 100-night sleep trial still applies no matter where you buy your Casper mattress, so you don’t have to commit just yet.

Happy Socks
Shop Happy Socks socks on Amazon here.
You can’t help but smile at these colorful, eye-catching socks that become the star of any outfit. The playful accessories can be found all over the world, but they’re more convenient to shop online.

If we were you, we’d take advantage of this last category, which currently includes Beatles and Andy Warhol styles.
