VB6 modernization toolkit

Build a suite of tools to help enterprises migrate legacy VB6 applications to modern frameworks. Targets IT departments maintaining critical legacy systems.

Why now

VB6's persistence in enterprises creates demand for modernization solutions as skilled developers retire.

Who for
Enterprise IT managers
Business model
Consulting and licensing
Effort
A few months

Thousands of business-critical VB6 applications remain in production but lack modern features and security.

Develop automated code converters, compatibility layers, and training materials for gradual migration.

Enterprise IT departments would pay for risk reduction in modernization projects.

Start with a basic code analysis tool before tackling full conversion.

Risk: Competition from established legacy modernization firms.
