Product Roadmap


Bild is committed to creating a product our users love. Many of us come from hardware backgrounds, enabling us to better understand your pain points. We also come from software backgrounds, and are looking to provide our users with the same kind of cloud-based tools to better facilitate your hardware development processes.


Our roadmap is based primarily on on customer feedback, cloud infrastructure requirements, and internal projects.
