In the Starting-Up series I will tell the story of how we are getting Air off the ground. For sure, there is some history to tell, but this is a story that is still playing-out. It's a story that might end abruptly; or one that could run and run. The unknown element is part of the excitement of working in a startup ...

At Air we're all about GPS and so in this series I'd like to share some of the applications for GPS that we encounter, invent or hear about. I'd also like to hear about applications for GPS that you discover or dream-up: submit ideas here and I'll post the best ones on the blog.
GPS used to be synonymous with SatNav, but today it's appearing in cellphones, cameras, watches - in fact just about anything that moves. Perhaps counter-intuitively, it's appearing in plenty of things that don't move, too.
A lot of the applications we come across are quite sensible; some might just change your life; some are surprising; and, occasionally, some are downright silly.
(...as opposed to working for a large technology corporation.)
1. Stock options. They might just be worth enough to change your life.
2. Share the vision. Work on something you believe in.
I guess that no two Technology Startups are the same. The reason that we're here is because we're doing something innovative - something different - and by definition that should lead to unique problems and unique experiences. And yet in this blog I will document views from just one startup - Air Semiconductor - in the hope that somewhere in amongst the things that concern me there will be things that are of concern (or at least of interest) to you, whether you work for another startup, a large technology corporation, or another company in the technology industry.
