Objectively, software bets are less risky than 20 years ago. There are more well understood business models, more ways to reach customers, fewer technical risks (putting a consumer website meant dropping 7 figures on hardware and hoping you had the right team to make things work), and a better understanding of what a defensible business looks like. On the flip side a reduction in risk is no guarantee of success, there are new risks related to having ~100 copy cat companies - or having your business replicated by a mega-cap. Lower risk means lower barrier to entry. |
