Software vs Hardware (a post by @FredWilson)

from Fred Wilson's A VC · host Fred Wilson's A VC

"One of the things I am noticing is the trend to try to solve problems with software instead of dedicated hardware. That makes sense for a whole bunch of reasons, but the biggest ones are that the marginal cost of additional user is almost zero with software and that you can iterate your product much more quickly with software."
