About Quarter20

Quarter20, one of our portfolio companies, is a next-generation platform that automates technical hardware documentation and collaboration for hardware development. We help engineers and their manufacturing teams automatically create build instructions and documentation, accelerating the timeline from design to manufacturing.

Quarter20 was founded by Mai Bui and Addy First, a hardware engineer and software go-to-market specialist hailing from teams at SpaceX, Tesla, and Microsoft. We are venture-backed by top investors and technologists. We are a fast-growing startup and looking for awesome people to grow our product, vision, and culture.

What we do

Let’s be real – no one likes making documentation; it’s annoying and time consuming. But the process is 10x worse for hardware. Building hardware is complex, and unlike software, collaborating on hardware requires visual representation of the product, like 3D models and 2D drawings. Imagine if you were building a rocket and the best software tools that you had were Snipping Tool and generic solutions like Google Slides. Unfortunately, this is the reality for those not only in aerospace, but also in automotive, consumer electronics, and robotics – any company building hardware! Quarter20 is redefining the workflow for hardware engineering, starting with build documentation. We are creating the first-ever platform that, using 3D CAD as an input, can automatically generate the documentation that you need for hardware development, from product requirement docs, to test plans, to Bill of Materials, to build instructions, and more.
