Birmingham is full of amazing entrepreneurs and leaders who are making huge waves in the local business game.
We found three Birmingham startups you need to keep on your radar. Check them out.
1. Kimmie Stylz
Kimmie Stylz is a line of quality hair products made with natural ingredients for diverse and textured hair.
Founded by Birmingham’s Kimberly Cornner, these hair products use natural ingredients to detangle, moisturize and hydrate for healthier hair growth. Kimmie Stylz products are safe for children, cruelty-free and include:
- Aloe vera for strengthening
- Olive oil for moisture
- Tea tree to reduce scalp inflammation
- Jojoba, avocado + peppermint oils to prevent breakage
As a natural hair care stylist of 15 years, Kimberly created her products to help others recognize how proper hair care can have a positive effect on self-esteem, confidence and health.
Fun fact: In April, Kimmie Stylz won $25K in Alabama Launchpad!
2. Stockd Concierge Services
Founded by Birmingham locals Drew Willoughby and John Price, Stockd Concierge Services is a unique travel arrangements company.
The team brings groceries, beach gear, water toys and more into your vacation rental or home—stocking the items in the refrigerator and cabinets.
Stockd’s services include:
- Bait delivered + placed on your boat at a marina
- Beach chair + umbrella rentals
- Excursions like jet ski rentals, parasailing, snorkeling + offshore fishing
- Kayak + paddle board rentals
- Pre-arrival grocery delivery
Price and Willoughby found that people spend roughly one hour and 13 minutes grocery shopping and unloading during a busy weekend at the beach. That’s why they’re here to do the hard work for you and maximize your vacation.
3. BrightPay Health Corp.
Healthcare tech company BrightPay was created to make paying for healthcare easier for those without employee plans.
Since healthcare is often tied to employer-sponsored plans, freelancers find it difficult to access and afford comprehensive coverage.
That’s where BrightPay comes in—with a mobile app specifically designed for healthcare providers to make payments easy for their patients.
