The SV definition of tech leans towards "a user-centric service delivered over the web, with some clever software solutions behind it to handle a lot of data and users".

I thought the definition was more about scaling because of the near zero incremental cost of servicing another customer. But using some sort of tech as the product.

Other industries also exhibit this, like media.

And that is what differs an auto company from a Google. The next car sold still has significant capital investment.
