Phizzle

CEO: Ben Davis

Phizzle aims to make IoT deployments more scalable and efficient with a software stack that enables low-wattage edge devices to deliver server-grade performance.

The San Francisco-based startup said its EDGMaker software stack can increase the power efficiency of edge devices like routers, gateways and switches by a factor of at least five, enabling devices with 40 or fewer watts to operate with the performance of a 200-watt server.

The company said in May that it had landed a Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company as its first customer that will use EDGMaker to automate the management of machines like particle counters and Ph balancers, enabling significant savings in operational costs.
