## Summary

Eric Simone, Founder and CEO of ClearBlade, discusses the company's evolution from a services firm to a product-led Industrial IoT platform. He details the painful transition in 2013, including retooling staff and handling employee departures, and explains their strategic bet on edge computing before it was mainstream. Simone highlights ClearBlade's 'intelligent assets' platform, which allows non-technical operators to manage connected devices via no-code tools while remaining flexible for developers, and outlines their future focus on deploying AI models at the edge.
