Startup Accelerator
De-risk your IoT startup. Raise the odds of success.
The Embeint Startup Accelerator gives pre-seed and seed IoT companies technical depth, guidance, and technology de-risking — plus in-kind services, VC introductions, and in selected cases funding or enhanced Infuse terms. Anyone can still start free on the standard Developer tier.
- Zephyr Project Silver Member
- Production Infuse stack — CRA-aligned updates
- Qualified applicants still receive a period of free commercial use
Why build on Infuse
De-risk the whole journey, not just the prototype.
Most IoT startups spend their runway building the stack before they build the product. Build on Infuse and one foundation takes you from first prototype to production-ready: firmware, fleet, updates and data, without building a full stack of your own.
Prototype
Start on Infuse-SDK
Maintained Zephyr firmware on Nordic nRF and STM32L4x. Free on Developer, so the first board costs nothing but your time.
Pilot
Run real devices in the field
Infuse-IoT gives every device an identity, commands and over-the-air updates from the first pilot.
Production
Ship what you prototyped
The same stack goes to market: CRA-aligned secure updates, APIs and Infuse-DB for your data. No rewrite.
Scale
Grow without re-platforming
Add devices on the same platform, and open the fleet to the Marketplace for capabilities you do not fund.
What you don’t have to build
The parts every connected product needs and no investor pays you to reinvent.
- Device identity and provisioning
- MQTT and the cloud control plane
- Signed over-the-air updates
- A time-series store for device data
- A CRA-aligned update path
The accelerator
What you get on top of the stack
Technical depth that de-risks the company
A Zephyr TSC / Maintainer-level team and production Infuse stack make startups more credible to investors and increase the odds of product-market fit.
What accepted startups receive
In-kind technical and product services, introductions to relevant VCs and angels, and in selected cases direct funding when building on Infuse.
Enhanced terms via conversation
Extended free tiers, free commercial periods, or improved rates for qualified startups. Standard free Developer access is always available via self-serve.
