Automate circuit board design using AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Diode to automate the process of designing printed circuit boards using AI. Our product takes complex hardware requirements and produces the PCB design faster and more reliably than manual methods. We work directly with hardware companies who need fast turnaround on quality PCBs.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live in New York City, NY, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York has a strong community of hardware and manufacturing companies, which matches our customers. We live and work here, so it makes sense to stay local while growing.
