Beginning in the early 2000s, instead of selling your car to afford hardware, you could sell a coffee table and afford it. Over the past 15 years, many costs associated with building products—servers, databases, all the once-homerolled things that are now available as cheap SaaS products—dropped immensely.
This ushered in an era where startups were lean and could do with $250,000 what a startup in the ’90s could do with $2,500,000. It led to 10 times more products launching, 10 times as fast. It’s been a prosperous and successful era for the Internet. Only a few costs remained high: labor, office space, accounting, legal, marketing, etc . . . it dawned on me that we’re now entering a new era, and all those remaining costs—labor, office space, accounting, legal, marketing, etc.— are dropping to the floor. Just like last time around, it’s going to mean that we see 10 times more products launching, 10 times as fast. It means we can do with $250 what a startup five years ago could do with $250,000
