Top Hardware Startups in 2027

For 100 years the home security industry has been selling outdated technology at highway-robbery prices. Often sales reps will try to scare customers into signing long-term contracts that are full of nasty fine print. We believe being safe should be simple. SimpliSafe security systems are easy to self-install, easy to purchase direct online, and don’t require a phoneline or long-term contract. They are also wireless, cellular, and customizable: It works anywhere and will fit any house, apartment or business.

Understory generates real-time, localized, weather data, powered by a dense grids of patent-pending, next generation weather stations. The hardware designed by Understory detects rain, hail, winds and other weather events directly at the Earth’s surface where the risk to life and property is greatest. The information collected by Understory is analyzed and processed to create real-time datasets and views of the movement and intensity of weather events to provide better insight and early detection of risks. Understory's weather station generates three-dimensional wind, rain, and hail observations as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, lightning strikes, and ambient light. We upload the data over cellular to paint a picture of real time observations at a 1-2 mile resolution that sheds ground truth on how the weather affects people and businesses.

Arieca manufactures a thermally conductive rubber (Thubber) composite that has a novel combination of properties: • Ultrasoft • Thermally conductive • Tear resistant The thermally conductive rubber (while being electrically insulating), “Thubber”, has the potential to revolutionize how heat is managed in personal computing, wearable devices, and other compact electronic technologies. Compared to existing thermal greases and pads, Thubber has a superior combination of high thermal conductivity, mechanical compliance, and resistance to fracture, tearing, or flaking. As a thermal interface material (TIM), it can rapidly transfer heat away from heat generating electronics and allow them to function over long durations without overheating or requiring reductions in speed or power consumption (i.e. throttling). Additionally Thubber can isolate sensitive electronics and avionic systems from mechanical vibration and shock with the ability to draw the heat away at the same time.
