It is conventional wisdom that the way tech startups operate is fundamentally different from traditional companies. As technopreneurs in the Industrial IoT space, it is vital that you are aware of the reasons behind this difference when dealing with clients coming from traditional industries or vice versa so that you can approach these business dealings in a more strategic manner.   In the tenth and final installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, Ariel Stern talks to us about how the gap between tech and traditional companies can be bridged, drawing from the deep knowledge and experience he has accumulated at the helm of his own tech startup, Ayyeka.    Learn more about Ayyeka: https://www.ayyeka.com/ Learn more about GE Ventures: https://www.geventures.com/
