The problem? You could squeeze the packs with your hands — faster, cheaper, and without the $699 machine. Juicero became the poster child for: * over‑engineering * founder detachment * misaligned incentives * and building a solution in search of a problem But the deeper story is far more instructive — especially for founders building hardware, marketplaces, or any product where value must be obvious. #StartupOriginals #Startup #StartupShutdown #Fallenstartups #StartupFailure #EntrepreneurshipLessons #StartupJourney #FoundersLife #BusinessMistakes #BuildInPublic #StartupCanada #WhatWentWrong #FounderWisdom #startupusa Change Management Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu0iIqZ7TYA&list=PLGOXd2Twm71I Other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll-1KLfgwxc https://youtu.be/D71npM0GKtE https://youtu.be/Wu0iIqZ7TYA https://youtu.be/tDkyNPiHiZ0 The Business Architect Firm (BAF) is a North American business architecture and growth engineering consultancy specializing in systemic scalability, market‑dominance strategy, and integrated business design.
