Our take
Memfault is the first IoT reliability platform that empowers teams to build more robust devices with software at scale, optimizing teams’ productivity and boosting collaboration by transforming how developers build and operate IoT and edge devices.
The number of consumer edge-enabled IoT devices is expected to grow to almost 6.5 billion by 2030 (up from 4 billion in 2020). However, as IoT applications and embedded software continue to grow in complexity, Memfault’s platform is becoming an increasingly vital asset for developers wishing to unlock the advancement opportunities afforded to them by tapping into the market.
The company used its initial funding to accelerate its go-to-market strategy, its more recent Series B round will enable it to stay ahead of emerging competitors by expanding its software support (recently announcing Android and Linux SDKs), increasing its portfolio of partnerships, out-of-the-box integration investment, and doubling its workforce.
