UPGRADE INDUSTRIES

UPGRADE INDUSTRIES is open source educational hardware that designs electronics adaptable for students, hobbyists, and professionals. The job it does: solving a specific business problem with software.

Who is it for? Mostly teams in its space. They also list Education, Hardware, Open Source and Robotics, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

UPGRADE INDUSTRIES is based in Fredericksburg, Virginia and around since 2011. More on upgradeindustries.com.
