Full-disclosure: The kickstarter featured here is one I created.

I'd have to agree that if still alive there's no way SJ veer from the path of high-tech. Part of me does wonder however how this would be different if he had been born 30 years later. Being the rebel that he was known for at times, I wouldn't be surprised if the company he'd be starting as a 20 year old in this day in age, would indeed be a lo-tech focused company.

Who knows, maybe starting a company wouldn't even be the "Steve" thing to do right now.

Sorry but no. Steve Jobs would never made something like this ever. This idea is stupid and weren't you the founder of some Peter-Thiel backed startup? Don't you have better things to spend your time on then make bracelets?

If there's one thing to learn about Steve jobs it's that people don't know what they want. Having someone buy 500 of something is no indicator of success, try selling $1M and then we'll talk

Not sure what concept validation has to do with it. The guy is raising $10,000 for a rubber band! Why even do a Kickstarter for this at all?

Really don't think that's the main lesson to learn from Steve, but enjoy your narrow TechCrunch perspective.

Wow, unnecessarily harsh. It's a KickStater bruh. Concept validation, ever heard about it?
