Why GenX

Real problems don'trespect industry boundaries.

  • Some problems require software.
  • Some require materials.
  • Some require infrastructure.
  • Some require artificial intelligence.
  • Some require a combination of all of them.

GenX Applied Technology was built around a simple idea:

Start with the problem, then use the technologies required to solve it.

We don't force every problem into one predetermined technology category.

  • AI
  • Materials
  • Infrastructure
  • Systems
  • Innovation

OUTCOME

Real-world solutions

The GenX approach

Practical technology.Built with purpose.

  1. 01

    Start with the problem

    Understand the real problem before selecting the technology.

  2. 02

    Use the right tools

    Software, artificial intelligence, materials, infrastructure and physical systems are tools, not identities.

  3. 03

    Build for the real world

    Technology should ultimately survive contact with real users, real environments and real constraints.

  4. 04

    Protect what matters

    Consider intellectual property during development when potentially valuable inventions emerge.

  5. 05

    Verify consequential work

    Use evidence, verification and human oversight where decisions carry meaningful consequences.

  6. 06

    Build toward deployment

    Consider commercialization, manufacturing, licensing, partnerships and implementation during development.

From idea to impact

From a hard problemto real-world application.

GenX combines invention, engineering, research, intellectual-property strategy and commercialization thinking to move promising ideas toward real-world application.

Our innovation process

Founder-driven

Built fromreal-world experience.

GenX is led by its founder. Decisions about what to build, how to build it and when to bring it to market are made by an inventor and builder, not by a committee.

Founder / CEO

Ron "Toad" Strickland

GenX Applied Technology LLC

Inventor, builder and technology entrepreneur focused on identifying real-world problems and developing practical technologies across multiple industries.

One company. Multiple technologies.

One applied-technology model.Several technology domains.

GenX operates across several technology domains under one applied-technology model. The domains differ. The way GenX approaches them does not.

The common denominator is not the industry.

The common denominator is the problem.
