About Upverter
Summary
Upverter builds a cloud-based, collaborative hardware design platform for electronics engineers, design teams, and contract designers. It replaces isolated, single-user CAD tools with a shared workspace where teams can discover and reuse existing design content instead of redrawing schematics, re-sourcing components, or duplicating work from scratch. The platform also connects hardware creators through a marketplace for sharing and building on each other's designs.
Go-to-market
Hardware design teams, contract designers, and independent engineers find and adopt the platform to collaborate on electronics projects, with access driven by the open marketplace of shared designs.

The future of hardware design. A marketplace for hardware engineering…
Upverter is social making. The best way to collaborate with others. Discover, share and work on hardware. Unlike existing design tools, which are isolated and single user, Upverter is highly integrated, inherently collaborative and accessible anywhere in the world. With Upverter design teams, contract designers and grassroots innovators are leveraging existing design content and focus on building next generation hardware instead of wasting time duplicating work, sourcing parts or dealing with manufacturers.
