'Nashville is a superpower': Why tech firm XOi invested in a new Gulch HQ

Nashville Business Journal highlights XOi's new headquarters in The Gulch

‍

Nashville Business Journal recently featured XOi's new headquarters in The Gulch, showcasing a significant milestone in the company's growth and continued investment in the field service ecosystem.

Founded in Nashville in 2016, XOi has grown from a small team operating out of Germantown into a global organization serving the specialty trades. Today, the company supports contractors, technicians, distributors, manufacturers, and asset owners through a connected asset intelligence ecosystem built around real-world asset data.

The new 6,000-square-foot headquarters at 333 11th Avenue South reflects both XOi's growth and its commitment to the people who keep critical assets running. With more than 140 employees across global operations and recent investment from KKR, the company viewed the move as an opportunity to create a dedicated space for collaboration, customer engagement, and hands-on learning.

As CEO Aaron Salow shared with Nashville Business Journal:

"Nashville is a superpower for a company like ours. Everyone wants to come here."

The headquarters was intentionally designed to create meaningful experiences for customers and partners. While the office includes many of the modern amenities expected in The Gulch, one feature stands apart: a 10-ton commercial HVAC unit positioned prominently within the space. The asset serves as a hands-on training and workshop environment where customers can experience XOi solutions in the context of real-world field service work.

That focus reflects XOi's broader mission. Every interaction with an asset should be intelligent, informed, and designed to maximize uptime. By connecting field-captured asset data with the people and organizations responsible for maintaining critical systems, XOi helps create greater visibility, stronger decision-making, and better outcomes across the asset lifecycle.

The article also highlights XOi's long-term vision. The company has set an ambitious goal of touching 200 million commercial assets globally by 2030, expanding the industry's ability to access accurate, actionable asset intelligence at scale.

As XOi continues to grow, Nashville remains central to that vision. The new headquarters provides a place where customers, partners, and employees can come together to advance the future of asset intelligence while staying grounded in the practical realities of field service work.
