Working on self-driving stuff in the Ag-space, though not at a startup, but this is after two hardware startup stints: one doing security related computer vision, and then people sensing for space management.
Hardware is fun, but you rarely have the profit margins of a pure software play, so if you're not working on something creating an 'ecosystem', you're upside is probably more limited than a pure sw company. Still, I've liked the hardware products I've worked on, so I don't regret the tradeoff.
- c_o_n_v_e_x 3y agoOne trade-off is that you have a certain level of physical stickiness over software, especially if you have a large fleet of distributed hardware. Tearing out and replacing hardware is expensive and time consuming, that's assuming you can find the right people do it and they are available.
