Summary JuiceroJuicero was a company that made a device that was marketed as a fruit and vegetable juicer. The company’s product was called the Juicero Press, a Wi-Fi connected device that used single-serving packets of pre-juiced fruits and vegetables. The San Francisco-based firm received USD 120 million in startup venture capital starting in 2014 from investors including Kleiner Perkins and Alphabet Inc.
