"My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other's kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other, and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: Great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people."
- Steve Jobs

The Business Opportunity
Nabil Takla founded N3Ventures LLC to leverage several trends that have changed the Entrepreneurial landscape in the last decade. These trends are:
- Progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence has been breathtaking and relentless. Many AI applications have achieved scale, and many others are in the pipeline.
- AI and IoT, a perfect couple: There are billions of IoT devices today. These sensors collect a vast amount of data. Adding AI capabilities to these devices allows them to learn, thus become smarter and more efficient. AI can also help detect anomalies or triggers in the sensor data.
- The semiconductor industry has changed significantly in the last few years. Companies are going public, VCs are funding startups at a scale we have not seen in decades.
- Entrepreneurship is becoming more of a global phenomenon: Entrepreneurs in China, India, Eastern Europe, and most recently, the Middle East are starting new companies inspired by the phenomenal success of US companies.
- The cost of starting a company in specific segments of high-tech is trending significantly lower. The infrastructure of accelerators, incubators, angel investors, open-source libraries, among others, are making it easier to start a company.
