THE NAVIGATION AGENT FOR DIGITAL-PHYSICAL SYSTEM INNOVATIONAdvisory services for startup CEOs, Venture Capital GPs and Corporate ExecutivesTechnology innovation emerging from Silicon Valley will fundamentally change the functionality and value potential of the increasingly complex physical systems we rely on everyday. - Autonomous and multi-modal transportation- Smart city and civil infrastructure- Intelligent industrial operations- Heterogeneous distributed energy systems- Highly automated manufacturing, supply chain and logistics- Precision agriculture and farm-to-consumer distributionThese markets, and others like them, are on the cusp of digital and business model transformations; largely due to digitization, analytics (AI/ML), and "hard science" innovation. Much of this innovation and digital infrastructure was developed for, and by, the tech industry (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc), but is now being repurposed for less exciting, but huge potential markets. All of the above markets consist of a complex system of physical assets that can be optimized through a combination of advanced software and hardware. From a high level architecture perspective, these systems will look very similar in the future. They will all consist of physical assets that will be controlled by advanced algorithms, running on distributed high powered hardware, connected to the cloud and integrated on an open interoperable operating platform with the ability to perform complex system optimization. Getting the technology to market and creating outstanding financial outcomes requires navigation of complex global corporate customers, institutional and corporate venture capital, regulatory bodies and the opaque startup ecosystem.
