Building AIoT Startups: Inside the Aperture Venture Studio Model

Most venture studios focus on software. Aperture Venture Studio is doing something different — building companies where AI meets physical, industrial environments.

Started as an internal experiment within GAO Group in 2021, Aperture has grown into a structured venture creation platform targeting the AIoT (AI + IoT) space.

The core thesis:

Advances in AI and connected technologies are making it possible — at scale — to bring intelligent automation to industries that have historically resisted software disruption.

Their model:

  • Each venture starts as a working system, then scales into a business
  • Portfolio companies share R&D, marketing, and go-to-market infrastructure
  • Founder/operator roles evolve from project-based to full-time as ventures grow

Target verticals: Manufacturing, Healthcare, Logistics, Infrastructure, Construction
