Careers | Aperture Venture Studio (AIoT Startups)
Join us to build the next generation of AIoT companies for industry

Why Aperture
Build faster with a studio model
Instead of joining a startup with little infrastructure, you can help build new companies backed by a shared platform: shared R&D, shared marketing, existing B2B market access, deep domain experience, and access to GAO’s ecosystem across industrial technology, RFID, IoT, testing, and research.
- Launch startups around large industrial problems, not narrow app ideas
- Work with a repeatable venture studio framework
- Leverage shared product, technical, and go-to-market capabilities
- Help shape new companies from idea to customer traction
