So did the Octopart guys ever become billionaires? CPLX on Nov 11, next [—]. They were acquired inwith 15 employees octopart the time, for an undisclosed purchase price. So probably not, octopart, though they didn't fail either.

Octopart

Andres and Sam, who studied physics together at Brown, then pursued PhDs in astroparticle physics and plasma physics respectively, are the founders of Octopart—a Google-esque search engine for electronic parts. Octopart makes it easy to compare the prices and availability of electronic components across a wide variety of distributors, all in one place. You can use Octopart to search for parts by name and number, or navigate through a taxonomy of structured items. For every part on the site, Octopart provides a variety of distributors for every part, as well as prices and links to buy. The site has been live since , and gets over , unique visitors per month. We recently partnered with Octopart to create the Autofill functionality for Arena PartsList—a new application that automates electronic component evaluation and documentation—so I took some time to talk with Andres and Sam about the past, present and future of Octopart, and what it takes to grow a successful company. Andres We developed the concept for Octopart when we were both in grad school working on some hardware projects. Sam was working on a fusion reactor—. Sam And while I was doing that, Andres was working on some really wild experiment where they were building a particle detector at the South Pole. Andres So at that time, we were both working on hardware projects with very demanding tolerances. As we were going through the process, we discovered it was really hard to get the components we needed.

Over 61 million parts on Octopart are connected directly to electronic distributors with stock, pricing, lifecycle status, octopart, and lead time information updated daily. But without a physics background, picking up the technical aspects would have been much more difficult.

Ah, sounds a lot like the solar sector. Alex: How did you come up with the idea for Octopart? EEVblog on Youtube. Join us on an exciting journey through cutting-edge technologies, industry trends, and the forward-thinking vision shaping the landscape of innovation. New pilot projects are being proposed to jumpstart IC substrate production, and a recent acquisition brings a notable electronics manufacturer to the 2 spot in North America by market share. There is nothing new here, Octopart has been always open about their business model. You can order one item at a time, but I have a life! Chinese manufacturers, close to now ERP-usage, inefficient processes. But without a physics background, picking up the technical aspects would have been much more difficult. LCR meters can be powerful tools for supporting the development of electronic circuits. SimbaOnSteroids on Nov 11, prev next [—] Doesn't look like it but they exited, weather they got anything is a different story. Explore Products. That's perhaps a "soft landing" not a "success".

Millions of engineers, scientists, and sourcing professionals use Octopart tools to quickly access a comprehensive, up-to-date library of electronic part data, supporting their work from the beginning of a design through fabrication.

What do they do? Andres We also had a lot of help from some really amazing people. I was really curious about how this stuff actually worked, in real life. I would so love to work on something like this, but when people won't even use a free solution suggested by one of their trusted employees, selling one will be tough. The following users thanked this post: samofab , Squarewave. Quote from: Red Squirrel on September 08, , pm. We both loved coding, so the idea of a website made a lot of sense. Oh the humanity! Sam Jumping into an industry where we had no contacts and no experience was a challenge. Automatically verify part numbers in your Bill of Materials, and get real-time pricing, lifecycle status, lead time, and availability information. Andres So at that time, we were both working on hardware projects with very demanding tolerances. Octopart is indeed part of the Altium "family".
