In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with the folks at TechrIot about their approach of bringing IoT companies together.
Vic Ahmed, Suzy Gutierrez and Jake Rishavy are co-founders of TechrIot and Mathew James Bailey is co-inventor and market validation lead.
In IoT no one company can do it all. Why? Because to deliver outcomes, not just point solutions, requires multiple companies to come together.

Startups and big corporations come together to form one such ecosystem – one in which innovation is traded for stability and tradition.
