Elevator Pitch
Years are required to train novices in electrician, HVAC, and solar installation roles. Build a full-stack services company combining minimally trained workers with AI guidance systems, AR hardware, and remote expert oversight.
Full Description
The Problem
The skilled trades face a severe labor shortage. Training a new electrician or HVAC technician takes years, but demand for these workers is exploding due to data center buildouts, solar installations, and infrastructure modernization.
The Solution
Build a full-stack services company that combines:
- •Minimally trained workers who can start productive work in weeks, not years
- •AI guidance systems that provide real-time instructions and quality verification
- •AR hardware that overlays instructions and checklists onto the physical work environment
- •Remote expert oversight for complex decisions and quality assurance
The Business Model
Instead of selling software to trade companies, become the trade company. Capture the full margin while proving the model works.
Market Size
The skilled trades market is massive—HVAC alone is $150B+ annually. Labor costs are the primary constraint on growth.
