Memfault is the first IoT reliability platform that empowers teams to build more robust devices with software at scale. We believe that device reliability engineering will transform how developers build and operate IoT and edge devices with more productivity and more collaboration.

We built Memfault to enable developers with a more scalable and sustainable process to accelerate go-to-market, de-risk product launches, cut product costs, and deliver overall superior products. Memfault is founded by ex-Fitbit, Pebble, and Oculus engineers who know the industry well and have been wrestling with these problems for 15+ years.

Small, unexpected defects result in delayed product launches, lost revenues, and brand damage for even the most admired hardware companies. Current quality inspection and failure analysis techniques are labor-intensive and bombard engineers with data that isn’t concise enough to be used efficiently. Iteration is inhibited, even when engineers think they’re working quickly. Instrumental’s equipment captures images of every unit built at multiple points along your assembly line, and our machine learning-driven tools autonomously learn to identify defects. Instrumental provides insightful, actionable data to help engineers iterate rapidly and prevent small issues from turning into big business problems. Our founders spent years in factories developing the iPod and Apple Watch, and intimately know the struggles of building high quality products. They are assembling a diverse team who sees inefficiencies as opportunities to develop a system that improves millions of things each day.
