SnapEDA has a neutral meta format, which means each component goes through a PCB exporter to match your specific CAD tool. During interviews with engineers, trust was the biggest/most common thing brought up. Eric Migicovski, founder of Pebble, is now running hardware at YC. YC has continued funding hardware companies since then, even though SaaS have been more popular. The Upverter team, who also went through YC. Luke Iseman, former head of hardware at YC. We have had two shows in the past about YC Natasha took SnapEDA through the 圜ombinator program, focusing on it full time. Semiconductor acquisitions has messed with a lot of part number data. Natasha estimates there are nearly 1 billion parts in the ecosystem, in part because of the number of connector companies permutations. They had some user generated models at the beginning, but they were not preferred. They had free “requests” to figure out what people wanted early on. A site like SnapEDA is difficulat because it’s starting from no content. It still has some form on the current site. 
She taught herself using a Django tutorial meant for a website that organizes books. When Natasha started, she was coding it herself.Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.She found that she was designing board and footprints taking a ton of time.Later, Natasha got interested in the marketing side of business.Interesting discussion around using an X shaped pad under a QFP.With corporate sponsorship, anyone can participate (and Natasha recommends it!).A new version is coming out soon, check IPC.org for more info.All about how to create footprints, with different density levels, depending on the complexity of your board.She was reading IPC-7351 specs early on. What’s in there?.
Natasha has an EE background, she got her start working on tools at National Instruments.Welcome, Natasha Baker, Founder and CEO of SnapEDA!
