Opportunities in Legacy Industries
Legacy industries represent significant opportunities for digitization, accounting for about 80% of U.S. GDP. Sectors like agriculture, construction, and mining often lack technological advancements, presenting a chance for transformation. For example, a portfolio company called Sentara uses advanced machine learning and data from drones and IoT sensors to enhance agricultural productivity by providing vital information such as plant health and weed pressure. The potential for innovation and improved outcomes in these traditional sectors is vast, as they remain heavily reliant on outdated practices.
