We don't make HDF5...we make HDF5 better.

Headquartered in Wyoming, Lifeboat, LLC was formed with the mission to sustain open source HDF5 data management software.  We are leveraging our decades of experience as developers and architects of HDF5 to create innovative features that are critical to the HDF5 user community.  Additionally, we are expanding the team of developers who contribute to the software to ensure its legacy continues for decades.

Formed in August 2021, Lifeboat has received four Small Business Innovation Research awards from the Department of Energy and is actively partnering with DOE on additional projects to further our mission.  Lifeboat has several internal projects either currently in development or slated for development soon.  

Thanks for visiting and learning about our efforts to sustain HDF5.
