BrandKarma is a Santa Ana, CA-based company in the Software and Internet sector.
Arduino is the world`s leading open-source hardware and software ecosystem. The Company offers a range of software tools, hardware platforms and documentation enabling almost anybody to be creative with technology. Arduino is a popular tool for IoT product development as well as one of the most successful tools for STEM/STEAM education. Hundreds of thousands of designers, engineers, students, developers and makers around the world are using Arduino to innovate in music, games, toys, smart homes, farming, autonomous vehicles, and more. Originally started as a research project by Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis at the Interaction Design Institute of Ivrea in the early 2000s, it builds upon the Processing project, a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts developed by Casey Reas and Ben Fry as well as a thesis project by Hernando Barragan about the Wiring board. The first Arduino board was introduced in 2005 to help design students — who had no previous experience in electronics or microcontroller programming — to create working prototypes connecting the physical world to the digital world. Since then it has become the most popular electronics prototyping tool used by engineers and even large corporations. Arduino is the first widespread Open Source Hardware project and was set up to build a community that could help spread the use of the tool and benefit from contributions from hundreds of people who helped debug the code, write examples, create tutorials, supports other users on the forums and build thousands of groups around the globe. We are eternally grateful for being supported by such an amazing community. Since the Arduino project`s foundation, many new development boards and software libraries have been introduced, expanding the range of possibilities available to the community. Today, more than a decade later, Arduino continues to provide open source hardware and software to bring new ideas to life.
Campana Systems Inc. was founded in 1988 by Grant Roberts and Brad Bell, both graduates of the University of Waterloo. Roberts and Bell opened for business in a small office on Victoria Street in Kitchener, Ontario in 1988. Jim Hardy, a University of Guelph graduate, joined the team in 1990 as Development Manager and third owner. From the beginning, Roberts, Bell and Hardy emphasized service, excellence and long-term customer relationships. Today, Campana employs more than 100 people in Canada, Australia and New Zealand and consists of two focused divisions, offering two leading products suites:
Swimm is a SaaS company built to make the development process fast and smooth with smart docs and continuous documentation. Teams use Swimm to create focused and engaging tutorials that help them share knowledge on the codebase.
Zel Technologies is a Hampton, VA-based company in the Software and Internet sector.
