Arrow Electronics is a global provider of products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions.

At every stage of product development, from creating a working proof-of-concept all the way through manufacturing and the supply chain, Arrow provides tech entrepreneurs with resources and engineering expertise to help take their IoT ideas to market.

They have recently teamed up with Indiegogo, the global platform for entrepreneurs to bring their ideas from concept to market, to launch the Arrow Certification Program.

As part of the Arrow Certification Program, qualified projects will receive access to expert engineers, opportunities to receive flash funding and discounts off products.

Holding Arrow certification lets backers know that your electronic products or software designs have been verified by expert engineers and are feasible for manufacturing.

On average, Indiegogo campaigns that are in the Arrow Certification Program raise 84% more funds and are over four times more likely to reach their crowdfunding goal.

The Arrow Certification Program is free to join, and companies will remain the sole owner of their intellectual property.
