It looks like they are simulating a solid modeling program, one that looks vaguely like SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor/Fusion, but with a worse user interface.[1] [1] https://touvlo.co/images/feature-three.png
Onshape is a pretty popular CAD package! We use it for robot hardware (moving away from Fusion).
Touvlo in greek means brick but it also means metaphorically a very bad student.
Do you say “hardware” to mean “mechanical engineering”? That’s kind of what it seems like from your description and screenshots. It’s probably worth making this a bit more descriptive - to some people “hardware” means PCBs and electronics. (I’m one of them!) It’s an interesting idea and I like that you’ve stood up something minimal to test your product offering quickly. What’s your elevator pitch for your value propo…
Our pitch: We make recruiting easier, better and cheaper for the companies building the hardware of tomorrow, by letting them focus on their product rather than repetitive candidate skill assessments. Currently, senior engineers in small startups and scale ups spend a lot of their time interviewing, and they often don’t do it well (remote CAD sessions aren’t really a thing). We save them time and money.
We will scale this by hiring freelancer interview engineers. This has already been done in software, very successfully: karat.com. So we think it can work at least equally well in hardware.
Just a small piece of feedback, it looks like there's a small typo on the last paragraph of the page: > Interviews can be scheduled (and rescheduled) interviews around the clock, 7 days a week. I believe the second `interviews` should be omitted.
Huh, that's an interesting idea. But as an engineer at a small automation integrator, who never has time between busy projects for important-but-not-urgent tasks like interviewing new hires, it seems I should be in your target market, but I can't imagine delegating a critical decision like this to a third party. Who is your ideal customer? I'm imagining either a nontechnical solo founder (with a really good, high val…

Yes, we can use any CAD software (or at least, we will seriously consider it). We’re a new company and following the YC advice of doing things that don’t scale. If that means buying 5 different software licenses for our first 5 customers, then we’ll do that.

We’re both greek, it’s meant in a joking way :) What do you think of the name?
