Everyone?
The internet of things is accessible & understandable (almost).
Accessible - Hardware (Arduino,RPi,mbed) - Software (Xively,BergCloud, IFTT,
ThingWorx) - Product (Hackspace) - Pre-production design (Fritzing,
DesignSpark, Angeldev)
Knowledge is not a barrier - Videos - Forums - Workshops (Codasign, Space) - Books (Arduino project, Arduino
for Dummies, Rpi for Dummies, Designing the Internet of Things)
Fear and loathing in Silicon Roundabout Startups vs Big Business Standards & security Fear & uncertainty about the reach of technology
Understandable Tell good stories about how we’re going to get to a connected world. Connectivity is a given & technology is boring
Understandable The winners are people with graphic designers & crazy numbers, not necessarily people who are right.
But it’s possible. It’s a question of time & effort.
Feasible Build bridges between startups & large corporations.
@connectinghomes
Feasible Incubators are starting to support #iot startups
@bg_ventures @springboard / @techstars
Feasible Government gets it. EU funding & UK funding on #iot is pretty comprehensive.
Feasible PR & tradeshows are very accessible if your message is crystal clear. You have to be completely clear about why a customer would want to buy what you’ve made.
Feasible Retail is interested in change and new products. Staples wants to be an #iot retailer. @Works_Shop
Barriers Funding is always a pain. You will need others (designers, marketing, business) You will find them though. meetup.com/iotlondon
Good luck @iotwatch @GNLteam @Works_Shop @eyehub @connectinghomes
