About Memfault & Nordic Semiconductor

Memfault is the first IoT reliability platform designed to help teams build more robust, scalable devices. Traditionally, hardware teams have had limited visibility into product performance and the root causes of field failures. Memfault changes that by enabling them to work with the same speed and agility as software teams.

Leading companies such as Lyft, Logitech, Bose, Whoop, and Verkada rely on Memfault for performance monitoring, remote debugging, and over-the-air (OTA) updates—empowering them to ship faster and deliver higher-quality products. With Memfault, firmware and hardware teams can monitor device health, diagnose issues remotely, and seamlessly deploy updates, bringing modern software practices to hardware development.

In 2025, Memfault was acquired by Nordic Semiconductor, a global leader in low-power wireless technology for the Internet of Things (IoT).
