Developing AI-Enabled Products -
Speech Recognition
- ISD was Silicon Valley's 3rd fastest growing startup, then sales flattened.
- Retained by ISD to re-establish growth. Helped ISD transition into speech recognition.
- Developed target specs for chip; defined VUI & APIs;
developed business plan.
- Co-managed R&D of chips and software across four office
locations (US & Israel).
- Helped launch & promote product. Designed into high volume Asian cellphones.
- Winbond acquired ISD for this high growth opportunity, technology and patents.
- Multiple patents were awarded for Capital Ideas work.

Database for ML/AI and Decision
Support
- Retained in 1990 by KPCB to find commercial applications for
the MasPar supercomputer.
- From primary market research with CIOs, we found a need
for an intelligent decision support database, capable of AI
& ML.
- We developed the architecture and initial version,
resulting in 100x decision support speedup vs. Oracle & Sybase.

Predicting Timing of Disruptive
Industry Transitions
- To properly plan its chip development, our client needed to know when 10G would shift to 40G
and 100G. They asked us to forecast this.
- We did primary and secondary research across
the DWDM supply chain and user base.
- We evaluated standards battles, characteristics of installed fiber, development cycles
for critical DWDM components, availability of critical semiconductors, DWDM
equipment development plans, carrier deployment rates, regulatory issues
and other factors.
- We created a WW bandwidth forecast for 10G, 40G
and 100G by application.
- Actual results validated the accuracy of our forecast.

Orbital Data
|
Creating Superb Product-Market
Fit
- Orbital Data was at proof-of-concept for its WAN
accelerator
(moving big data over long distances fast)
- Capital Ideas was retained by the technical founders to
find best product-market fit.
- We did outreach to a wide range of market segments, refining
the product-market fit.
- We build relationships at over a dozen F500 accounts that
were referenceable with VCs.
- Based on this work, Orbital rapidly closed VC funding
from Sevin Rosen.
- Citrix later acquired Orbital to speed Citrix's entry
into WAN acceleration market.
