Alex Capecelatro and his co-founder started Josh.ai in 2015 though the technology development preceded that by almost five years. Josh.ai is solely focused on creating assistant-enabled luxury home automation that supports both touch and voice interaction but Alex tells me it can go much further in the market as well. The company has its own smart speakers, its own assistant and enough momentum to recently raise $11 million from investors on top of an earlier round of $8 million.    Alex previously was founder of Yeti which was acquired in 2015. Earlier in his career, he was a research scientist and earned a degree in materials science and engineering from UCLA.

The war for the living room used to be simple: influence whoever was in charge of the family TV’s remote control. With the rise of the Internet of Things, smart speakers, and AI-enabled home automation systems - the home itself has become the next computing platform. To get a handle on what the future of smart homes might look like, I caught up with Alex Capecelatro in LA. Alex started his career as a research scientist for NASA, the Naval Research Lab, and Sandia National Lab. He later joined Fisker Automotive, ran his own startup, At The Pool, before creating Josh.ai, an AI agent for the home.

On this episode of Unconventional Genius, I talk to an entrepreneur who is disrupting the home automation market. Alex Capecelatro is the Co-Founder and CEO of Josh.ai, a company that is looking to make the truly smart home a reality through a voice activated home automation system. During our conversation, Alex tells me about both the technological and operational side of Josh.ai. He shares what sets Josh.ai apart from other smart home systems and how he is leveraging his business and technology acumen to disrupt the home automation market. Making the smart home smarter Alex Capecelatro has developed an artificial intelligence platform, called Josh, which connects with already existing smart devices within your home and allows you to control them all by simply using natural language. What once seemed like something out of a science fiction film is now a reality. Alex explains how his company is making the smart home smarter by integrating the internet of things into one user-friendly device. While there are many home automation devices currently on the market, Alex says that what sets Josh.ai apart is their whole-home approach. Instead of just creating a piece of hardware, Josh.ai is looking to integrate with the already-available connected devices within the home to make the user experience easier and more comprehensive. The strategy behind developing a home automation product Alex Capecelatro compares the Josh.ai go-to-market approach with that of Tesla. He says they started with high-end installations in larger houses with smart devices already included. This allowed them to learn and adapt the system so that they can be better and more affordable for larger markets. They also found a niche that allows them to partner with other smart device manufacturers rather than competing with them. Instead of infringing on an already crowded market, Josh.ai is integrating with them. Hear more about Alex Capecelatro’s development strategy during this conversation. Getting investors excited about home automation Trying to raise money for a tech product can be difficult, especially if you are presenting a new product. Alex Capecelatro details how his company was able to raise a lot of money from investors. He says it started by mitigating risk for investors citing his extensive experience and research that gave confidence to investors. Another advantage Josh.ai had for raising capital was their focus on solving a problem in an already established market. Rather than creating a new category of products, they were simply improving one. This allowed investors to feel more comfortable backing Josh.ai. How to come up with your next big product Alex Capecelatro is creating an exciting and unique product in the home automation field. As an entrepreneur, how can you come up with your next product or service idea? Alex says his idea came from being a consumer in the smart home market and learning about the features he wanted. Alex says, “Focus really intently on the user and the user’s problem.” If you only focus on the competitors, you’ll constantly be playing catch up. Instead, focus on giving users the best experience possible, solve their problems, and you’ll be successful. If you are with a consumer technology company planning to launch a new product at CES or are even looking ahead to CES 2019, the Max Borges Agency can help you succeed.
