This is why it makes me so happy to see terrible startup ideas get plenty of funding. Without frequent evidence of overoptimistic bets, it is nearly guaranteed that many viable ideas are going unfunded. Juicero made me unbelievably excited for our future.https://twitter.com/jasoncrawford/status/1183833891209019392 …

I mostly agree, but genuine question: What was the upside scenario for Juicero? Fund startups that are terrible ideas because the problem is too hard, not because the problem is irrelevant.
You’re assuming someone would be able to 100% accurately judge “problem is irrelevant” before a product even exists.

Only in Juicero's case :)

Many of the arguments made against Juicero can also be made against Keurig & similar companies. I didn't (formerly) think people would want to spend ridiculous sums on home espresso machines and coffee. I was wrong. Juicero seems like a bet something similar could work for juice
