Mason 做什么

Mason is the fastest way to take smart devices from idea to end user. Whether building a single-use device from scratch or scaling a line of smart products, with Mason it’s 20x faster and 10x less costly to build, deploy and scale. Digital transformation is a modern requirement but operating a hardware-dependent initiative is hard - thousands of hours and millions of dollars are at stake. The Mason Smart Device Platform is the only fully managed infrastructure for developing and delivering dedicated devices. It offers flexible usage-based pricing for fleets of devices and manages the underlying complexity of all associated backend services, making software delivery on a smart product line - whether it’s a tablet, wearable or new form factor - as simple as delivering software in the cloud. This frees innovators to focus on what matters: application development, feature specification and UX. Granular access to add, remove or lock down capabilities makes it possible for highly customized products to be built as envisioned. Mason offloads hardware investment risks and logistics, including inventory procurement, warehousing and supply chain management. With options like zero-touch provisioning, devices can work perfectly out of the box without end user intervention. Remote fleet management, troubleshooting and automated software updates by Mason ensure security and positive end user experiences. Organizations of all sizes rely on Mason to bring innovations and hundreds of use cases to market without reinventing the wheel.

We built the Mason Smart Device Platform, a fully managed infrastructure that lets companies develop, deploy, and manage dedicated smart devices quickly and cost-effectively. It handles backend services, hardware logistics, inventory, provisioning, and remote fleet management so our customers can focus on the application, features, and UX without reinventing hardware integration or backend complexity.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Seattle, WA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
