Bill Brock — CEO

Every hardware team faces the same impossible choice: spend 18 months building infrastructure, or ship a product that won't scale. Hardware evolves every 6 months, but product development cycles take 2 years. By the time teams stabilize their Linux stack and integrate the BSP, the next generation of silicon is already shipping. At Peridio, we've built the operating system for Physical AI. Avocado OS is our AI-native, production-ready embedded Linux runtime—supporting NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm, NXP, and Raspberry Pi. Combined with Peridio Core (our SaaS platform for OTA updates, fleet management, and observability), we help hardware teams launch products 10x faster. Teams using Peridio ship production-ready devices in weeks, not years—with pre-built validated vendor stacks, battle-tested OTA infrastructure, and long-term support built in from day one. I'm an engineer by trade and a builder at heart. I built and scaled Very (hardware services company) to $20M+ where I witnessed firsthand how legacy Yocto workflows and bespoke BSP integration work delay launches and kill startups. Prior to that, I spent a decade in simulations and high-performance compute. BS in Applied Mathematics, MS in Computational Engineering.Our customers include leaders in security systems, computer vision, industrial IoT, and consumer electronics. I host the Beyond the Bench podcast, and am a proud husband, father of two, and love Tennessee. Titan up! want to connect? → https://meetings.hubspot.com/bill-brock/peridio-intro-linkedin
