Across the U.S. economy, hundreds of thousands of workers are emerging from the pandemic on a mission to reinvent their disrupted careers—much like the former employees of Good Use.

As a maker of juices from “ugly” fruit and vegetables destined for dumpsters, the four-year-old Bay Area startup was set to have its best year when Covid-19 broke out in early 2020. Instead, as San Francisco offices shut down, Good Use almost overnight lost its juice-delivery client base—mostly tech firms that provided the juices to their employees as a perk.

The staff of around 20 people, including sales and production workers, tried to adjust, first switching to home deliveries and then converting operations to bottle and sell hand sanitizer.
