If you make and sell paper, you're a paper company. If you make and sell cars, you're a car company. If you make and sell software, you're a software company.

If you make and sell paper, you're a paper company. If you make and sell cars, you're a car company. If you make and sell software, you're a software company.
If you happen to use paper in your company and send printed advertising to customers, but you actually rent vacations homes, you're not a paper company. Even if paper is a hot new industry and companies that sell paper are receiving high valuations, you are still not a paper company. Even if you buy a ton more printers than you need and really produce a lot of paper internally and go to paper conferences and talk about how much paper you use, you are still not a paper company.
- im_down_w_otp 3y agoHmmm. I tell people I work in "tech" and founded a "tech" company. We make software for testing complex systems (robots, cars, satellites, etc.) and constructing a model of their behavior to hunt for edge cases, help diagnose field issues, etc. (see: www.auxon.io) It's not a SaaS, it's not a web service thing. Do we count as "tech" in the modern parlance?
- throw__away7391 3y agoWhy the confusion? My point is that this determination is quite simple and by your description it sounds like you sell software.
