You are absolutely right about different thresholds for software vs hardware.

VC's will fund s/w and web services all day even though they are easily copied.
They're scared to death of h/w because you actually have to build something.

You can't get away with the smoke n mirrors or rebranding with hardware.

VC have never been about creating companies.
They're more about funding their friends and
sucking what revenue they could out of those
innovators who did all the work.

Just like in the Madoff situation, those who were
bilking the system can't do it anymore.

VC's need to adapt to the change that has happened.

A difference for money requirements needs to be made between software and hardware companies as also the differences in the market companies address: social website, consumers or businesses.

Viral marketing isn't cheap anyway, done properly it can cost a fortune. The only large savings I can see is based on IT, support and systems.
