This strategic report analyzes the DeReticular ecosystem, its proprietary operating system (RIOS), and the tactical opportunity currently available through the CodeLaunch GTM Venture Forge.

Report: DeReticular, RIOS, and the CodeLaunch Strategy
1. Executive Summary
DeReticular is an industrial infrastructure conglomerate building “Sovereign Nodes”—independent, off-grid infrastructure units that combine power generation, satellite connectivity, and AI compute. Their core product is RIOS (Rural Infrastructure Operating System), an AI-native OS designed to manage civilization-critical services in zero-infrastructure environments.
The Opportunity: DeReticular has launched a strategic initiative to populate its operating system with applications by “flooding” the CodeLaunch GTM Venture Forge competition. DeReticular is offering to act as a venture studio for founders—polishing their pitches and strategies—specifically to help them win CodeLaunch.
- The Goal: To have CodeLaunch’s partners (professional dev teams) build the MVPs for the RIOS ecosystem at no cost to the founder or DeReticular.
2. Technical Profile: DeReticular & RIOS
Founders must understand the underlying infrastructure to propose viable projects. RIOS is not just a software platform; it is a “Sovereign Stack” of hardware and code.
- Founder: Michael Noel (aka “Biz Builder Mike”).[1][2]
- Philosophy: “The Death of the Line.” A belief that centralized grids and supply chains are obsolete fragile points of failure.
- The Product: RIOS (Rural Infrastructure Operating System)[3][4]
- The Muscle (Power): Uses Agra Dot Energy plasma gasification (waste-to-energy) to generate continuous off-grid power.[5]
- The Motion (Logistics): Integrated with Kurb Kars for autonomous logistics and drone delivery.
- The Mind (Compute): A vertically integrated “AI-Native” OS. It uses “Signal Fusion” (bonding Starlink, 5G, and Mesh) to ensure unbreakable connectivity and runs “Edge AI” so data doesn’t need to leave the local node.
- Project Octagon: A global mesh of 8 specialized nodes (Uganda, Canada, USA, etc.) currently being deployed to prove the network’s viability.
3. The Strategy: “Flooding the Forge”

DeReticular is using an external accelerator to subsidize the development of its app ecosystem.
What is CodeLaunch?
CodeLaunch is a seed accelerator competition known as “Venturetainment.”[6]
- The Prize: Winners receive professional software development teams (provided by partners like Improving) to build their MVP or PCL (Product Complete Level).
- The Deal: Zero Equity / Zero Cost.[7][8][9] CodeLaunch does not take ownership of the startup.[7]
- The GTM Venture Forge: This is the commercialization track associated with CodeLaunch, focusing on Go-To-Market strategy and investor readiness.
The “Hack”
DeReticular is incentivizing founders to apply to CodeLaunch with RIOS-native ideas.
- Founder Benefit: You get free consulting from DeReticular (“Biz Builder Mike” and team) to perfect your pitch.
- DeReticular Benefit: If you win, a third party pays to build the software that runs on their RIOS hardware.
- Market Signal: A wave of RIOS-based applicants signals to investors that “Sovereign Infrastructure” is a massive emerging trend.
4. Target Founders & Application Architectures
DeReticular is looking for specific types of applications that utilize the unique capabilities of RIOS (Edge AI, Off-Grid Power, Privacy). If you are a founder, consider pitching one of the following:
A. The “Sovereign Commerce” Founder
- Concept: “Grid-Zero Marketplace”
- The Pitch: A local p2p exchange for food, energy, and labor that works even when the internet is down.
- RIOS Synergy: Uses RIOS “Signal Fusion” to sync ledgers via mesh networks when satellite is intermittent.
- Target Node: Node 1 (Uganda – The Concierge) or Node 5 (Texas – Energy Trading).
B. The “Blind Compute” / Privacy Founder
- Concept: “Med-Box Confidential”
- The Pitch: AI diagnostics for rural healthcare that guarantees patient data never enters the cloud.
- RIOS Synergy: Utilizes the Octagon Privacy Layer (TEEs and zkVerify) to run AI models locally on the node without exposing raw data to Big Tech.
- Target Node: Node 6 (Arizona – Healthcare Logistics).
⚠️ CALL TO BUILDERS: HACK THE FORGE ⚠️
We are taking over the CodeLaunch GTM Venture Forge. We need founders ready to build the application layer for the RIOS Sovereign Stack.
If you have a decentralized concept, we will help you polish the pitch to ensure you dominate the competition. Winners get a FREE Professional Dev Team to build their MVP.

- Dominate: Use the “Sovereign Infrastructure” narrative to secure your spot.
Go. Build. Win.
C. The “Ag-Tech” Founder
- Concept: “Waste-to-Wallet”
- The Pitch: An IoT platform that tracks organic farm waste and instantly credits farmers with energy credits or tokens.
- RIOS Synergy: Integrates directly with Agra Dot Energy plasma gasification units to verify waste input and energy output.
- Target Node: Node 4 (Uganda – Industrial Anchor).
D. The “Autonomous Logistics” Founder
- Concept: “The Last 50 Miles”
- The Pitch: A coordination protocol for drone swarms delivering medical supplies in zero-infrastructure zones.
- RIOS Synergy: Built on Kurb Kars API to manage charging, routing, and maintenance of autonomous units.
- Target Node: Node 6 (Arizona) or Node 1 (Uganda).
5. Strategic Recommendations for Applicants
- Align with “Sovereignty”: Your pitch should emphasize independence. Investors in this ecosystem are looking for “Civilization in a Box”—tech that survives when the main grid fails.
- Leverage the Hardware: Do not pitch a generic SaaS app. Pitch an app that needs the RIOS hardware (e.g., “This app requires the onsite GPU and satellite bonding of a Tier 1 RIOS Suitcase”).
- Use the DeReticular Offer: The text explicitly says “JUST HIT REPLY.” Before submitting to CodeLaunch, engage with DeReticular to get their specific “studio tools” and GTM strategy. This endorsement may be critical for standing out.
