ISHIR Venture Studio

West Texas Operator Building Vertical AI SaaS Platforms

Subject: West Texas Operator Building Vertical AI SaaS Platforms

Hi ISHIR Team, My name is Nicholas Schmidt. I’m a founder/operator based in Midland, Texas currently building several AI-driven vertical SaaS products tied to industries I already operate in. My primary focus right now is Anchor Health & Compliance — a compliance and workforce-management platform focused on regulated industries including trucking, oilfield, healthcare, staffing, and industrial employers. We already have: - active MVP development - workflow architecture - onboarding systems - compliance automation concepts - real-world industry relationships - defined monetization strategy In parallel, I’ve also developed AI platforms in marketing automation and sports-card analytics, which has helped me identify a repeatable pattern around operational AI tooling for underserved industries. I move quickly and understand the industries deeply, but I’m now looking for the right long-term operating/product partner to help refine systems, tighten execution, optimize onboarding, and scale products correctly. I came across ISHIR’s Texas Venture Studio and felt the model aligned closely with how I build. Would love to connect and see if there may be a fit. — Nicholas Schmidt Midland, Texas

One of my primary projects, Anchor Health & Compliance, is focused on compliance and workforce systems for trucking, oilfield, staffing, and healthcare employers. I’m reaching out because I’d love to learn more about UTPB’s entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology ecosystem and explore whether there are opportunities to connect with student talent, innovation programs, startup resources, collaboration opportunities, and local entrepreneurial initiatives. I believe West Texas has a unique opportunity to become stronger in applied AI and operational technology, especially in industries the region already understands deeply. Would love to connect with the right person on your team. — Nicholas Schmidt Midland, Texas
