A look at startups in 2015

With the New Year just a few short weeks away, people all around the world are undoubtedly putting together lofty ambitions and resolutions for 2015 — though whether they'll follow through on them or not is a different story. For some, that New Year's resolution is to open their own company, kick off their own startup and join the entrepreneurial business world. For others who have already launched their own startups, 2015 could be a make-or-break year that defines some game changing successes or failures.

No one can predict the future, but we can make some educated guesses about which startups are looking to blow up next year. Here are a few, according to Mashable, that are worth keeping your eye on:

• Blue Apron: In just two years, Blue Apron has become one of the food startup market's fastest-growing names, delivery recipes and ingredients to the doors of culinary aficionados and cooking amateurs alike. This month, the company announced that it has reached a milestone of delivering over 1 million meals on a monthly basis, a number that will likely grow even further in 2015 thanks to the $50 million raised this year for recruitment and marketing initiatives.
• Slack: Despite having opened its doors less than a year ago, this workplace communication tool development company is already valued at $1 billion. Facebook is reportedly looking to make its own push into the enterprise sector, but founder Stewart Butterfield — who also co-founded Flickr before selling it to Yahoo! — is keen on maintaining this particular startup's independent spirit and capitalize on their ever-increasing userbase, which already spans the tens of millions.

Whether you're planning to open your startup next year, or are hoping that 2015 helps take it to new levels of success, make sure to enlist the help of a small business attorney that can effectively protect and represent your legal needs.
