Business Model
Espressif has deployed the Business-to-Developer type of marketing, not only because it has gained prominence inrecent years, but also because it has proven to be more effective since the in?uence of developers on organizationsof all sizes has gained traction. In other words, most developers are R&D employees in various companies and bringforth business opportunities from the companies they work for.This way, the developer ecosystem we have created at Espressif demonstrates how the value of networks can growexponentially:
?The more developers we attract as customers, the more hardware and software solutions we generate.?The more successful hardware and software solutions we create, the more our reputation spreads with positivefeedback from happy customers/developers.?The above-mentioned interaction between people in our network prompts the creation of more content, which -inturn- attracts more users/developers searching for new content.
?Likewise, other third-party development platforms join our ecosystem and bring in new developers, as ourin?uence continues to grow.Having successfully applied the B2D2B model, Espressif can now focus on R&D investments, while maintaining asmall business team that supports a large number of customers directly. In fact, most of our revenue is gainedthrough direct sales.
