# 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
|
|

## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
**Target Market**: Small-to-mid manufacturers ($10-100M revenue)

|
|
- Tier 1 competitors (Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider)
|
|
- Tier 2 system integrators (New Frontier Technologies, Atlas OT, ITS)
|
|
- Digital twin providers (NVIDIA, GE Predix, Rockwell FactoryTalk Twin Studio)
|
|
- MSP market gaps and opportunities
