While Silicon Valley chases AI unicorns, DFRobot has built a $13.2M empire on the nuts and bolts of physical creation. This isn't a flashy SaaS platform—it's the industrial backbone for the global maker movement, shipping open-source hardware to 600K monthly visitors who actually want to touch and solder their code.

"In an age of digital abstraction, DFRobot proves that physical creation still scales—and pays the bills."

The tech stack tells a story of scale without pretension: jQuery and Bootstrap remain, but they've layered on modern tools like Vite and Webpack. It's a pragmatic stack for a company that prioritizes shipping hardware over winning design awards. Their 60 employees generate $220K in revenue per head—lean for hardware, exceptional for open-source.
