SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Like anyone who’s done their time in quarantine, David Lee went through Netflix, YouTube and the internet. When it came to exercising however, he found he had to rearrange the furniture to get any decent space. He considered buying an exercise bike online, but retailers either took too long to deliver given his 14-day predicament or wouldn’t come to a hotel.

Two quarantines later, the 35-year-old Singaporean decided to do something about it. "I woke up at 7am and worked on a website, completed it in three hours, just a very basic website, and put some products on it. I got my first order the same day.”
