Company Summary

GradFly is a story-telling platform that helps hardware makers and hobbyists showcase technical projects, get constructive feedback, and build online audiences around their work.

Since we are building an online community, users sign up for free since we believe the content will drive our business in the future. We make money linking project component lists to third party vendors and take a cut from any user that purchases from our affiliates.
