no, hardware is haaard..it's called hardware for a reason. "The problem is that hardware companies are much harder to build and scale than software companies...even with Kickstarter, even with China, there are so many ways hardware can blow up in a non- recoverable way." Ben Einstein Bolt By no means is building a hardware product the same as building a software product, now or ever "Hardware will never be as easy as software, but as long as startups and investors are prepared for these differences, the potential to build world-changing hardware companies is higher than ever."
