Have you ever heard of Handy Famm or Barnana?
Both of these companies started from a simple but powerful insight: solve a real problem… with a creative twist!

Think of kids’ building toys. Handy Famm took it a step further: they create real, functional tools designed specifically for kids to safely collaborate with their parents on DIY projects.

A niche product with growing demand
💡 Inspired idea: Create similar kits for cooking, gardening, home repairs, or art—always with the idea of "doing it together."
🍌 Barnana: Snacks and Sustainability
Barnana saw value where others saw waste. They upcycle imperfect bananas (the ones usually thrown away) and turn them into organic snacks like banana bites and plantain chips.
