Product based
Typically, tech startups
are product based digital
tech companies which
attempt to build a
scalable product that
could be sold many times
without any
customisations.
Business Types
Service based
Service based businesses
leverage knowledge of its
team by offering services
and tend to undertake
projects.
Uncertainty is bare
minimum but scalability
is hard to achieve.
Other types
Many businesses do not
fall into product or service
based, e.g. engineering
and manufacturing.
Some require significant
capital, e.g. building and
operating a power
station.
