Yesterday I posted about a company called Juicero, and some lessons on what NOT to do, lol..

TechCrunch also put together a list of the 10 most funded startups that have failed (Juicero also made it on this list) or are failing in 2017:

10 of the most-funded startups to fail in 2017

A Reddit user summarized them as follows:

I'm not posting this to mock these ideas or companies because I'm sure there were some brilliant minds and great entrepreneurs behind all of them. But it's sometimes good to observe and analyze why things don't work so we can learn from not just our own failures, but other people's mistakes as well.

And they are ALL reminders that execution is EVERYTHING.
