Horizon IoT LLC was founded by John Ozkurt in October 2023 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The company specializes in end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, cybersecurity, RFID, AI integration, and comprehensive system integration services. Horizon IoT develops smart platforms for government agencies, healthcare providers, transportation systems, and community services—each designed to boost operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance service delivery.
Less than a year after launching the business, John reached out to the APEX Accelerator for assistance in pursuing government contracting opportunities.
When asked about his knowledge of the government contracting process prior to connecting with APEX, John explained:
“Before contacting APEX, my knowledge of government contracting was limited to basic concepts. The APEX team provided invaluable guidance on registrations (SAM, SBA, OMWBE), certifications, solicitation processes, and compliance requirements. They helped me understand how to position Horizon IoT as a prime contractor and navigate complex procurement systems.”
With APEX support, Horizon IoT went on to secure a Washington State Department of Enterprise Services (DES) contract for RFID solutions—a major milestone for the growing company.
Reflecting on his experience working with APEX, John shared:
“The personalized support and practical advice were outstanding. Melinda and the team were always approachable, responsive, and proactive in helping me strategize for success.”
He concluded with a message for anyone considering APEX Accelerator services:
“I would strongly encourage them to take advantage of APEX’s expertise. The team provides critical insights and hands-on support that can transform your approach to government contracting and significantly increase your chances of success.”
The APEX team is thrilled to celebrate the success of Horizon IoT LLC—and we would love to support your business as well. Opportunities in government contracting are plentiful.
