Answers: What are the worst failed startups and products of all time?
- failed startups
- Juicero juicer
- Coolest Cooler
- Jibo robot
- Theranos minilab
- One Laptop per Child
What it concludes
- Juicero's $400 machine produced no more juice than squeezing the produce packets by hand.
- Coolest Cooler raised $13 million on Kickstarter, shut down after a 5-year saga, and was investigated by the Oregon Department of Justice.
- Jibo was out-competed by Amazon Echo and offered no utility justifying its high price tag.
- Theranos was a multi-billion dollar fraud that used standard blood testing machines instead of its advertised minilab.
- One Laptop per Child failed because building a $100 tech product of that quality proved unfeasible and hand-cranked chargers broke immediately.
