THE PEOPLE

Two engineers, one bad night with a laser board.

ProtoFlow is built in Austin by two people who got tired of fighting their EDA tools and decided to replace them. No layer of account managers, no roadmap written by committee.

01 | THE FOUNDERS

Co-Founder

Rishik Boddeti

Product & engineering

Rishik is the technical lead at ProtoFlow, driving the product’s core architecture. His background includes designing custom low-noise PCBs for cerebral blood-flow imaging at a UT Austin research lab and building a global cognitive screening app deployed in over 80 countries. He is pursuing an electrical and computer engineering degree at UT Austin, and has leveraged that background to build ProtoFlow into a tool that removes the friction from hardware design. When he is not developing the platform, he enjoys spending time with friends and building video games.

02 | HOW WE WORK

Try it before you pay

The AI is free to use before any card comes out. If it is any good you will know in five minutes, and if it is not, you should not be paying for it.

Your files stay yours

ProtoFlow reads and writes the native KiCad format. Leave whenever you want and your designs come with you, intact.

The same people answer the email

There is no support tier between you and the two of us. Bug reports land in front of the people who can fix them.

03 | WORK WITH US

We are hiring engineers who have felt this pain.

If you have ever redrawn a footprint at 2 a.m. because nobody on the internet had one, we should talk.
