Life before the web – Running a Startup in the 1980's
- whyleyc 10y agoMy favourite fact - it took 185 person-months to develop PowerPoint for Windows at a cost of $500,000 :)
- martin-adams 10y agoI think what really makes me appreciate building a startup today compared to the 80's is the low cost of entry. They had to travel to editors of magazines to demo software, fax documents, manage a toll free number and of course, distribute on physical disks. Growth hacking in the 80s without the web and mobile was a very different landscape.
