Top 40 Start-Up Trends in March

Robot-run cafes, smart retail mirrors that can be used to make payments and on-demand laundry services are some of the top March 2017 start-up ideas. Automation is one of the driving themes this month, which can be seen in everything from legal software to in-store checkout stations to services that offer design-focused newsletter templates. Cafe X is a new destination that coffee lovers will want to check out, especially if they want to say that they once had their morning latte poured by a robotic barista arm.

Some established companies that are experimenting with their products and services like a start-up include American Girl introducing its first-ever boy doll, IKEA implementing a gift registry service and Etsy creating a new marketplace, Etsy Studio, specifically for the buying and selling of craft supplies.
