Combinator founder: Hardware Market welcomes recovery

Y Combinator is a famous incubator in Silicon Valley. Paul Graham, the founder of Silicon Valley's renowned incubator Y Combinator, has been blogging about his recent recovery in the hardware market. Y Combinator has brought us a big advantage over the industry's earlier and broader concerns, which is to anticipate industry trends earlier than most people. A notable recent trend has been the emergence of a large number of hardware start-ups. Of the 84 companies we support, 7 are doing hardware. Overall, they perform better than other types of businesses. Of course, they inevitably encounter investor resistance. Investors have a deep-seated resistance to hardware. But investor opinion is usually a lagging indicator. The best entrepreneurs are better at anticipating trends than the best investors because the trend is created by entrepreneurs. This trend is not rooted in a single impetus. Hardware is excellent in many websites. The popularity of tablets has enabled many new things to be controlled by tablets, even with tablet computers. The performance of the motor has been greatly improved, and various wireless connections are available everywhere. The production of things is also much easier than before, Arduinos, 3D printing, laser cutting and more easily obtained computer numerical control grinding has reduced the hardware prototype product production difficulty. The popularity of online shopping has also broken the retail bottleneck. Why did the hardware suddenly become so cool? It's always been cool, solid products have always been excellent, but it's not easy to create a fast-growing hardware company compared to software. However, this rule is not rigid, and is not too old, the origin can only be traced back to about 1990 years. Perhaps the future of history will find that the advantages of software is temporary. Hackers like to do hardware, and users like to buy hardware. So, if hardware delivery can be as easy as software, more hardware startups will be born. This is not the first time the market has buried good ideas, and it is not the first time investors have ever been to entrepreneurs. So, if you want to do hardware, don't worry about investor objections, especially when submitting hardware ideas to Y Combinator, because we're interested in hardware companies. We know that the next Steve Jobs has his space to grow, but we are more certain that the first (your name) also has room for development. From Paul Graham (think far)
