Having founded a daily deals company a few years back, I can say this mindset can easily be a trap. Software plays a larger role in many companies and can be part of your offering, but I strongly disagree you should run every company like a software company.

A taco truck is a software company?

A bodega on a corner is a software company?

A shoe shine guy is a software company?
