About Airtonomy
“Airtonomy mines, stores, and maintains the data that digitizes our world’s critical infrastructure, which includes fuel, energy, wireless communications, and even the water we drink.”

As Joshua reflects on the highs and lows of his entrepreneurial journey, he states, “The high point of my entrepreneurial journey remains an audience with Microsoft TechSpark leadership, including Brad Smith.” This gave him the confidence to start Airtonomy. Joshua explains that the low point of his entrepreneurial journey is, and always will be, “unfair and unnecessary criticism leveraged against me and my company.”
“There are always critics, as founders we must rise above in order to affect positive change.”
When asked how the community can support Joshua and Airtonomy, he states that the community should, “Advocate for those that lay it all on the line to change our world. Founding technology startups is not for the faint of heart.”
