Progress could be defined in many ways, but sure as hell there is less money in the tech sector, and funding is very difficult right now as far as I understand.

I do agree with the sentiment that the market shouldn't affect your timing if it can be avoided, but I wouldn't expect it to be very easy to start something capital intensive with a long road to profit right now...
