A roundup of interesting new products in the Startup Pavilion at Maker Faire 2015: OpenROV, Nexpaq, Crazyflie, MakerBloks, and Roominate are highlighted.
This weekend I attended the Bay Area Maker Faire 2015: “Maker Faire is the original, worldwide maker event that brings together creators, innovators, and DIY enthusiasts to showcase their projects, share ideas, and show us all what the future can be. Maker Faire is produced by the publishers of Make: magazine.”
New this year was a Startup Pavilion with about 20 companies selling their products and looking for early adopters. Throughout the show, I also found many startups looking for support for their kickstarter campaigns.
