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.

Many consumer-facing startups like Tinder and Snapchat soak up all the publicity and media attention while many of the Industrial startups that are truly transforming our world are deemed not "sexy" and fall under the radar. As a result, many of these startups also do not receive adequate support from corporate investors and venture capital firms that are critical to growing their businesses. In the eighth installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, we are excited to have with us Ravi Belani, Managing Partner of Alchemist Accelerator who will be sharing with us about how his accelerator works with the companies in their portfolio and with corporates to develop the competence of these "unsexy" startups through collaboration.

The Industrial IoT ecosystem globally is comprised of hundreds of organizations, standards bodies and consortia all working together to better serve end users and drive adoption of the Industrial IoT. Having said that, startups need to evaluate for themselves if it is more meaningful for them to join a standards body or just work directly with a particular company such as GE. In the seventh installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, Michael Dolbec, Managing Director of venture investments and M&A at GE Digital is back in the third and final part of his discussion with us on how GE is not just financing but also providing strategic direction as well as ecosystem support to startups.

In the fifth installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, we get back to basics with TechProductManagement's Daniel Elizalde. Daniel is the creator of the IoT Decision Framework which helps product leaders make informed decisions about adding digital value to their products in an intuitive step-by-step manner.
