Who Remembers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozmo.com :)

note: Don't take the above comment to mean I think Amazon is going to fail with this. 10 years ago an unknown company couldn't make this work. Im sure Amazon will do fine in Seattle with this.

Is that still the record for most VC dollars raised without ever reaching an exit? If Wikipedia's figures are accurate, they raised $250m, or about $315m in 2010 dollars.

I remember Kozmo. I also remember they had a competitor in NYC, but I can't recall its name. I just remember having them bring me some delicious lobster&steak from Fulton Fish Market or somewhere. Anyone remember their name?

Urbanfetch, I believe.
