What it does
Toy versions of iconic failed startups.
Iconic startup disasters - now as collectible toys!
An $800 I.O.T. juicer ultimately outperformed by literally squeezing the vegetables with your bare hands. A $1000 “social robot”, all character and no function, Jibo was instantly out-competed by the Amazon Echo. A $100 mini-laptop that tried to revolutionize education and ended up accomplishing... nothing. An overspecced combination cooler / speaker / blender that failed to deliver so thoroughly it was investigated as fraud. A multibillion-dollar medical startup built upon falsified test results and flagrantly deceptive malpractice. The DST Collector's Bundle is the entire mid-2010s venture capitalist experience in onefrom deadstartuptoys.com
