Overview
Certus is a hands-on investment and development partner for early-stage hardware and smart-product startups. It uses its own capital to move quickly and takes an active role in building the business from design to manufacturing and global distribution. A global network, called the 'global brain,' provides branding, talent, and sourcing support, and Certus often forms joint ventures with established market leaders. Its goal is to de-risk and scale ventures into commercially viable, globally distributed hardware products by combining product development, go-to-market execution, and supply-chain capability.
