What is Frigate?
Frigate operates at the intersection of industrial manufacturing and advanced software engineering. The company provides a comprehensive AI-powered platform designed to streamline New Product Development (NPD) and contract manufacturing processes. By offering end-to-end visibility across the supply chain, Frigate enables businesses to manage transactions with existing vendors or discover new manufacturing partners through a unified, simplified contract structure.
