Eddie Lin, CEO, Scienscope International

Our company came into existence in Q3 of 2019 when we launched the revolutionary product called InspectAR. This brand new software provides augmented reality and troubleshooting tools for all skill levels across the entire electronics industry. Our customers are makers, hackers, electrical engineers, printed circuit board designers, integrated circuit manufacturers, startups and Fortune 500 companies.

Whenever a new board is fabricated, engineers are tasked with "bringing it up" the first time, testing it for flaws, and characterizing its performance. This is a huge production bottleneck that can take anywhere from a few days to a few months to complete, and can drive a company out of business if not done quickly and correctly.

Our tool uses a smartphone or computer camera to view the board in real-time and overlay any number of nets, pins, pads, or parts directly onto the image of the board, reducing the complexity of board-bring up by several orders of magnitude.

Our current focus is on putting as many free development boards and evaluation kits online as possible while we continue to hire more staff computer scientists, engineers, and account executives. In 2020, we expect to double our number of employees, and our userbase to explode in size.
