Isembard Founder & CEO @AFitzgerald1992 shares how the company is building a new industrial base involving software, talent and franchising:
"Rather than go set up a McDonald's franchise, you could go set up and own your own factory making rocket parts."
"There's that scene from the Founder, that movie about McDonald's, where he's like, 'What makes an American town is the flag, the church house, the courthouse,' and he was saying the McDonald's, but my argument is it'll be an Isembard factory."
"There's this product layer of products, whether it's an Apple iPhone or a drone. They all need to be made by the component manufacturing layer."
"90% of the components in all these critical industries are made by small, medium-sized businesses."
"We're building a new industrial base through, one, software robotics; two, really talented people; and then third is actually like our unique business model, which is franchising."

“Yet such is often the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.”
