WHY: Bay Area startups rely on coworking spaces, such as Incubators, accelerators, and shared office spaces to advance their business models. Most of these spaces can not scale to suit teams in rapid growth or which produce tangible products. In particular, electronic hardware startups face a shortage of spaces which can support them from concept through production. These nascent businesses find themselves outstripping simple office set-ups and unable to acquire their own manufacturing equipment or outsource expensive limited production runs.
Circuit Launch is specifically designed to support the needs of hardware-focused startups, providing the necessary infrastructure, tools, test equipment, and community required to bring hardware-based products to market.
Circuit launch’s first tenant is Type A Machines, a 3D printer startup in its 5th year.
Type A Machines provides rapid prototyping and final part production solutions to aerospace, automotive, and consumer goods brands, including: Apple, Google, Nike, Tesla, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, and over a 1000 others. The company pushes the boundaries of additive manufacturing - creating products and processes that rival traditional manufacturing processes.
Type A Machines’ solutions will directly benefit Circuit Launch members seeking to prototype, and cost-effectively do short-run production of parts, housings, jigs and fixtures.
