Hi Alexandra,
glad that you put my book in you list of IoT references! There is a companion Web site for the book (www.gsiot.info), maybe this would be a better link.
As for other startups, I suggest two additions:
– Our spin-off Yaler (www.yaler.net), an “Infrastructure as a Service” cloud startup which solves the “firewall and NAT” problem of embedded devices that are used as Web services.
– A non-related company: http://www.koubachi.com that solves the “how can I prevent my plants from becoming parched” problem.
Thanks and best regards
