Diode Computers, Inc.
Diode Computers is a New York-based startup building an AI-powered, code-first platform for designing and manufacturing custom printed circuit boards. Its open-source toolchain - a Rust-based PCB compiler that treats schematics as Python-readable code - lets AI agents and engineers generate, validate, and manufacture boards in days rather than months, with human-in-the-loop verification. Founded in 2024 and backed by a $11.4M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, Diode serves hardware teams in aerospace, robotics, and defense.
AllSpice.io
AllSpice.io is a Boston-based hardware development platform that brings software-style workflows - version control, automated design reviews, visual diffs, and CI/CD - to electronics and PCB engineering. Founded in 2019 by Valentina Ratner and Kyle Dumont, the company connects native ECAD tools so hardware teams can catch errors early, collaborate asynchronously, and ship reliable designs with full traceability. Its AI agent, DRCY, flags issues like misconfigured pins, swapped TX/RX lines, and missing capacitors before they reach production. Customers range from startups to Fortune 500s across aerospace, robotics, defense, autonomous vehicles, and medical devices.
