We can do this by continuing to give them work. They are currently happy with us routing jobs through them, and I expect this to continue. It means they don't have to go searching for customers.


1. Through partner fabs located mainly in the Bay Area but also across the US.

2,3,4. Some of our partner fabs can, publishing a detailed spec sheet asap


1) Well noted, we are working on fixing that 2) Agreed, fixed with 1) 3) We should be more clear about testing. We offer a range of tests (in house x-ray, functional, bring-up) that we should show more clearly. 4) This will be made more clear on the site 5) We don't aim to be a broker in the end. We aim to own the whole stack. This is how we start. 6) True, we do in-house testing and rework, which should be more clear on the site.


I looked at your site again and see you made changes. Stop working so fast, it's actually hurting your presentation pretty badly. I see "We make PCBs fast". I suppose it may mean something to the layman, but to me it just means you do what 4PCB does, except not in 24 hrs like they do. But never mind about determining turn time. When I click that I only see a single time listed (5 days). But if I look at the top of the screen I see another turn time of 7 days.

Just stop working on this site for 3-4 days and get your mission statement together. Maybe put some pictures of actual test fixtures if you test boards or any of your rework equipment. Every PCB/PCBA shop out there puts rework videos on its 'gram. It's just really hard to understand your business with this edgy/terse hustler kind of talk. Or your careers page where I get the sense that move fast and break things is the backend philosophy. Not a good look for someone who wants PCBs fast.

I so want this to work but holy cow I can't even understand where you guys are coming from.


Everything in stock on US distributors, but we will make a tool for this too.


No, that's misleading. "Immediately available" means parts you already have in stock and can start populating without waiting for another supplier - it doesn't mean things that you could order.


True, there are a few standout cases of larger CMs. Tempo was the poster child and they did a lot of things right. MacroFab and CircuitHub will be great competitors to have, and as stated in earlier threads we believe our edge will come from owning the entire stack from design to testing.


Absolutely. Let's do it for everything


I would be super interested in chatting. Sending a DM.


#1 price is more expensive than China, parts availability is higher.

#2 it is accessible, but more expensive so if cost is your main constraint it's not the right choice.


Yes we're going to build that into it. In the pipeline definitely.


You're right. I'm updating the website with capabilities now. The NDA simplification is also a good idea, we will implement that as well. Thanks!
