Welcome back to another edition of HackerNoon’s Company of the Week! This series aims to give tech companies from our database the big bright spotlight they rightfully deserve.

This week, we’re thrilled to spotlight Iron Software —a global software company empowering C# and .NET developers with powerful libraries for working with PDFs, OCR, Excel, barcodes, and web data scraping.

Whether you're a solo dev or part of a team at NASA, Tesla, or the U.S. State Department, Iron Software’s tools are built to scale. With over 20 million NuGet downloads across 95+ countries, they're making development faster, smarter, and more productive.

▪️Iron Software started as a passion project by a group of C# developers who wanted better tools for working with PDFs and data. Today, their libraries power apps at NASA, Tesla, and the U.S. State Department.
