Gaining Momentum

Circuit Mind is a high-potential Deep Tech company automating PCB design with AI, backed by significant investors like Google for Startups and 7percent Ventures (Series A, ~$7M+ funding). While the project demonstrates exceptional technical innovation and real-world utility for engineering teams, the submission itself contained low-quality or placeholder data in key fields (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and audience is 'everyone'). The score reflects the strong underlying technology and verified market position, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and the niche nature of the current user base compared to mass-market benchmarks.

Description
Electronic circuit boards are at the core of current and future inventions, from augmented reality to autonomous vehicles. Yet today, designing an electronic circuit board is an extremely manual, long and tedious process. At Circuit Mind we are on a mission to solve this problem, shaping the future of hardware design.\n\nTaking inspiration from integrated circuit design, where high-level languages are used to automatically create complex circuits in silicon, we are building a novel software system that creates finished circuit board designs from high-level requirements. We are tackling hard problems that no one has ever solved before, pushing beyond what is currently thought to be possible.\n\nSeveral small and large engineering companies are waiting for Circuit Mind’s technology. We have the backing of world-class VC investors and we are building a tight-knit interdisciplinary team with outstanding technical abilities in electronic engineering, software engineering and algorithm design.
