Hardware FYI

This week we spoke with Zachariah Peterson, founder of Northwest Engineering Solutions. Northwest is a PCB design firm that also develops content about electronics engineering and PCB design. Zach began his career in academia however he moved to engineering consulting and quickly specialized into the PCB world, providing technical content for Altium since 2018. Zach was able to provide plenty of insight about the EDA industry, especially to startups who are seeking to disrupt the space: "If you're a new entrant and will take money from investors, then you need to realize that your exit will probably be via a sale to one of the legacy EDA companies. This will greatly influence the product you want to build and how it will be marketed." Check out our full interview below and thanks again to Zachariah for taking the time to speak with us! https://lnkd.in/eSVmQXMA
