Here is a snippet from that piece:
Today’s era of smartphone-enabled instant-gratification startups may be new, but it has already had its own share of flops. And like their dot-com ancestors, some of those recent failures have already returned to the game to give it another try.
Just within the last few years, there was Cherry, the Uber for carwashes (“acqhired” by Lyft). Exec, the Uber for TaskRabbit (refocused on housecleaning, sold to Handybook). Zaarly, an Uber for anything you want now (pivoted a few times, now also focused on home services). Rewinery, the Uber for wine (shut down). And Prim, the Uber for laundry (shut down).
Happy Reading,
