In addition to some web applications, I am slowly developing several products in the chemical sector. (I am a chemical engineer by training). But, the barriers to entry are so high and the risks are so great (often including literal physical danger) that software is decisively more attractive.
- jgamman 19y agohi, me too (chemist), working on some ideas in the energy field. i'm always jealous of web designers who can buy a $500 laptop, download a pile of open source software and start producing. i've got to raise at least two more zeros before i can actually do anything... ;-)
- yubrew 19y agoI know what you mean (biomedical engineering). In health care, it's standard practice to have at least 100x price mark ups, but a fair amount of barriers. After talking to a couple people in biotech start ups, it seems pointless to pursue something unless I am a cofounder. The marriage of science and business is often not pretty.
