Strategic Role

Softgent is a strong candidate for our hardware design house partner, specifically for carrying out the Leader Node (Cowbell gateway) feasibility study and custom design engineering.

They were highly recommended by Pierre Gelpi of e-peas, validating their technical reputation.

Engagement model — proposed

  1. Feasibility Study & Prototyping: Define the outcomes for the Leader Node feasibility study based on JAAB's technical specifications.
  2. Quotation: Softgent to provide a custom NRE quote for the study once project documents are shared.
  3. AWS & LEO Alignment: Kris Bujak has deep connections with Amazon's LEO (Project Kuiper) satellite business team and is exploring opportunities to position TuVaca/FluxCow as a proof-point project for joint AWS IoT + LEO Satellite integration. This could unlock AWS infrastructure support and co-marketing benefits.
