LitBit

CEO: Scott Noteboom

LitBit's goal is to integrate older systems with smart devices that are already connected to the Internet of Things. The company touts its RhythmOS software, which translates system languages into a more universally understood computer language – enabling customers to build apps so that systems can work together more effectively.

The San Jose, Calif.-based company was founded in 2013 by Scott Noteboom, a data center veteran who has worked at Apple and Yahoo. LitBit in May said it secured a $7 million funding Series A round.
