This work is early. We don't have all the answers, and we're not claiming to.
If you have insight into how devices age, how trust is maintained, or what it means to build for the long term, we'd value the conversation.
This isn't about selling you something. It's about understanding whether the problems we see are worth solving, and whether our approach makes sense.
What we’re exploring:
Ways for devices to remain useful long after official support ends
Software approaches that prioritise longevity, security, and continuity
Frameworks that respect repair, reuse, and real ownership
Systems that allow technology to mature — not reset — over time
To prove that longevity is a feature — not a limitation.
Modern technology advances quickly, but too often leaves functional devices behind. Grape exists to close that gap, using today’s knowledge to improve the technology of the past. Better with age.
