The owner plans an expensive TV ad campaign and refuses to consider broadening into a general coffee shop because “the online buzz proves it will work.”, The Instant Translator Watch, Two university graduates are building a smartwatch that can translate any language instantly.

They base their timeline on a similar mobile app they once developed at a hackathon., The Luxury Dog Hotel, A small team has invested heavily in a luxury boarding hotel for dogs. After a slow first year, bookings are minimal, but the team says, “We can’t close now — we’ve spent too much already, and things are bound to improve.” They are considering adding costly spa services for pets to attract more clients., The Eco-Friendly Toothbrush Subscription, An entrepreneur launches a bamboo toothbrush subscription service.
