M5Stack
ESP32-based modular/stackable IoT dev-kit ecosystem ("M5Stack for Business" line) with a dedicated commercialization path from prototype toolkit to certified/scalable industrial product — popular specifically because it lets founders prototype with the exact hardware form factor that later scales to production.
