I had a friend who wanted to start a coin counting by mail business. The customer mails the coins in a flat rate package and then you count them and in exchange the people get a gift card to a local restaurant.

    I remember their pitch deck claimed that the machine squeezed with the force of two Teslas. I measure most things in terms of Teslas. The fact that the machine had to be connected to the Internet to work so it could tell whether you were using a real or fake juicero pouches was crazy. A lot of big funds got sucked into this including Google Ventures. When it came out that you could just squeeze it with your hand I just had to laugh.

      A Tesla is a measure of magnetic flux density. I doubt that’s related to their claim at all.
