- davidw 18y agoWhat was stupid about it was the scale with which both things were launched. Pet food, for instance, is the sort of thing that could easily have started quite small and grown as needs be, rather than having millions of dollars dumped into it. Webvan wasn't just grocery delivery, it was grocery storage too. In big, huge, expensive (california real estate) warehouses (refrigerated, to boot, IIRC).
