Modern Suppliers

“If you zoom far enough out, is it possible that software companies in the future are either suppliers or marketing businesses?

“These modern suppliers are fundamentally democratizing the opportunity for anyone to build and scale. It’s, arguably, never been easier to start a software company. However, distribution and attention is the bottleneck for most companies.

We are starting to see a clear bifurcation of suppliers and marketing companies.
