保罗·格雷厄姆:今天人们如何变富·第2则

保罗·格雷厄姆《《今天人们如何变富》》· How People Get Rich Now · 投资 · 财富

Arguably it's slightly misleading to treat tech as a category. Isn't Amazon really a retailer, and Tesla a car maker? Yes and no. Maybe in 50 years, when what we call tech is taken for granted, it won't seem right to put these two businesses in the same category. But at the moment at least, there is definitely something they share in common that distinguishes them. What retailer starts AWS? What car maker is run by someone who also has a rocket company? The tech companies behind the top 100 fortunes also form a well-differentiated group in the sense that they're all companies that venture capitalists would readily invest in, and the others mostly not.

白话

把科技当作一个行业可能有点误导:亚马逊本质是零售商,特斯拉是汽车制造商。但眼下它们确有共同点——都是风险投资愿意重仓的公司,而传统零售商或车企则不然。比如亚马逊搞出AWS,特斯拉CEO还拥有火箭公司。这说明“科技”更像一种由风投驱动、以技术创新为内核的创业模式,而非单纯的产品类别。对创业者来说,关键不是贴标签,而是能否用技术重构传统行业,并吸引资本支持。
