HydroComp

HydroComp offers software solutions and services for design and performance analysis of marine vehicles, academic and government. In practice that means building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. Alongside the main category they mention Architecture, CAD and Marine Technology. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

HydroComp is based in Durham, New Hampshire. Their site is hydrocompinc.com.
