Industrial IoT Venture

Overview

This repository documents the strategic planning and execution roadmap for an industrial IoT consulting and platform business, leveraging 13 years of controls engineering experience combined with 4 years of cloud engineering expertise.

Current Status

Phase: Planning & Strategy
Target Launch: Q1 2026 (Phase 1 - Consulting)
Bootstrap Approach: Self-funded, minimal capital requirements

Core Strategy

3-Phase Bootstrap Approach:

  • Phase 1 (Months 1-3): OT/IT Integration Consulting - Revenue generation, market validation
  • Phase 2 (Months 4-9): Edge Monitoring Platform - Recurring revenue, infrastructure buildout
  • Phase 3 (Months 10-18): GPU-Powered AI Features - Premium tier, predictive maintenance

Key Differentiators

  1. OT/IT Hybrid Expertise: Rare combination of PLC programming + cloud engineering
  2. Edge-First Architecture: Data sovereignty, low latency, works offline
  3. No AWS Conflict: Positioned as complementary, not competitive
  4. Bootstrap-Friendly: Start with $500, scale with customer cash
