Documented cause
jüsto built a premium online grocery service with its own distribution network in Mexico, expanding to Chile and other markets. Despite $65M in funding and strong brand recognition, the company never solved last-mile delivery economics — operating in a market where consumers expected low prices and fast delivery while the cost of fulfillment remained persistently high. Expansion to Chile accelerated the cash burn.
Lesson
“Online grocery in emerging markets must choose between premium-and-profitable-niche or mass-market-and-massive-scale — attempting both simultaneously destroys both.”
