Podium Automation

Podium Automation is a Brooklyn-based manufacturer rebuilding how industrial control panels are designed and built. Using a software-enabled configuration and fabrication process, Podium designs, wires, tests, and ships UL 508A and UL 698A control panels in under four weeks - roughly a third of the industry-standard lead time - with real-time transparency from purchase order to delivery. Founded in 2024 by Jamie Niu Serota (CEO) and Jacob Buser (CTO), the company aims to become the 'Protolabs of control panels,' serving customers from hardware scale-ups to Fortune 500 manufacturers.
