Field Reports

We know you're out there.


How are you using Crowd Supply gear?

Send us a field report for a bit of fame and fortune.


Shipping amazing hardware is just the beginning.

Crowd Supply creators have put tens of thousands of original, useful, respectful products into the hands of eager backers around the globe. And those backers, in turn, have done all sorts of creative and interesting things with those products. Whether in person at our annual Teardown event, online in forums, or elsewhere, we're lucky to have witnessed a lot of amazing work. With our Field Reports program, we're sharing that good fortune with the whole community.

Share what you've accomplished.

Did you do something unique, difficult, or unexpected with your Crowd Supply product? Are you looking for alien signals from deep space? Building a robot that can do bike mechanics? Let the community know! Or, maybe you've done something less glamorous but nonetheless of potential use to others, like a custom enclosure for a dev board, or a solution to a knotty power management problem? Share a field report with us by filling out the form below.

Enjoy a bit of recognition.

If your field report is selected, you'll get a $50 Crowd Supply credit and your field report will be published as an official project update, emailed to backers of that project, included in our newsletter, and featured in our social media. In addition, some projects may offer their own prizes and incentives.
