As seasoned investors in several Internet of Things (IoT) businesses, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way from some highly impressive and successful entrepreneurs. The teams behind the businesses we work with are very diverse, and yet they share some core skills and approaches.

This means that your business needs experts in network design and management, and a broad understanding of networking protocols, standards and technologies.
