6. 2 ARE YOU ALWAYS SEARCHING?
1.Startup is NOT enterprises. It is a “temporary”organization.
2.It searches for a “fitting” business model (solution+market) for the problem
3.Understand your users better —> what they lack & what excites them?
4.How likely a user to recommend this product to a friend?

8. 3
PIVOT
PIVOTING IS NOT JUMPING
1.Change made to test a new hypothesis in business model
2.Key drivers of Pivot —> Customers & Market
3.Setup business health gauges —> Measure, Sustain & Grow.
4.BEWARE - Don’t pivot to raise Money or due to Atychiphobia.

10. 4 DEVICES ARE TROJAN HORSES
1.Don’t rely on “Clever Design” as a differentiator. TELEMETRY is Gold.
2.Don’t under estimate Hardware—> Cost, I/O, Energy, Network.
3.Product development & Manufacturing is not sequential.
4.Hardware & Software guys don’t go well together :)

11. 5
SOFTWARE
ARE YOU A POLYGLOT?
1.IoT Event Streams demand Micro Services than a Monolithic System
2.Suite of independently deployable, small, modular services
3.Business functions KPI may demand polyglot systems.
4.Elasticity is not Scalability
5.performance is not response time of REST service
~ 9 Surviving rules for IOT Startup/ @ravichola
12. 6 ANALYTICS IS ALL ABOUT “SPA”
1.BEWARE: IOT Event Streams —> High Speed Spatio-Temporal Datasets
2.Horizons of Analytics Platform —> Store, Process & Analyse
3.Context Awareness will excite users. —> Here is how ?
4. Devices are crazy animals —> how to tame them?
5.Analytical Time Models —-> Precision Vs Recall & iterative Vs real-time?

13. CLOUD & STANDARDS

CLOUD

STANDARDS
1.Seamless Device Cloud Communication is the foundation.
2.Interoperability—> Not just Unique Selling Proposition, Scalable too..
3.Resources, Resources, Resources
4.One security breach can shutdown you business.
14. 9
MANUFACTURES
MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT IT COMPANY
1.IoT Product for ENTERPRISE can’t be done ONLY with
alibaba.com,mfg.com,digikey.com
2.Visit CM’s Factory & build trust with all stake holders —> Reference Check!
3.Good, Fast, Cheap? —> Price, Quantity, Delivery , Payment Terms
4.Protect your Intellectual property —> NDA alone don’t work in China ^_^
