Crowd Supply
Bringing original, useful, respectful open hardware into existence.
Crowd Supply is a crowdfunding and marketplace platform focused on open hardware projects, helping engineers launch and sell original hardware products. The platform also hosts Teardown, an annual conference in Portland, OR dedicated to hardware hacking, prototyping, and open-source engineering. It serves as a full-cycle platform from campaign launch to product fulfillment for hardware creators.
Creators launch crowdfunding campaigns on the platform, and Crowd Supply handles fulfillment and sales once the campaign succeeds.
