The tech is no longer the hardest part (if it ever was). Meeting a market fit or business need is hard, and benefits from experience.

- SkyPuncher 8y agoI think it was a myth that the tech was ever the hardest part. Perhaps, it was when you could roll in huge amounts of cash just by offering a digital version of something. It was so easy to market something that the tech looked impossible.
- cheez 8y agoExisting tech is not hard. Tech that hasn't yet been invented is hard. That's where the money is made.
- organsnyder 8y agoBig innovations are certainly occasionally profitable. But looking at most of the tech success stories of the past couple of decades, there seems to be a lot more money in incremental improvements and applying existing technology to new business domains.
