Congrats! Great to see YC supporting more software companies that are working towards finally bringing the "boring" parts of the sector into the 21st century.

If you're interested in exploring the idea of supply chain integration, I'd love to chat. We're an ESA-backed, online marketplace for the space sector [1], and we've built a few integrations already to bring tools and data together for engineers.

Woo hoo! Thank you!

Sure, would love to chat. That sounds like a great opportunity for collaboration. Can you fill out the form at https://epsilon3.io/contact and we'll follow up with you?

Excited to be using this product for ensuring clearly documented and easy to make test procedures for our propulsion testing, and eventually for our satellite operations. Keep up the good work Epsilon3 and I look forward to becoming a hardcore power user!

We're so excited to support such amazing companies such as yours!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’m building up a space related non-profit (space telescopes) and I’m not in the USA. So ITAR is a poison, it is great you have an ITAR Free option, do you have any plans to host in other AWS regions long term? And how much more is on-premises likely to cost me?

Yep, we are planning on hosting in other AWS regions as well. For pricing, let's discuss offline because it'll depend on a few things. Can you fill out the Contact form on our website ( https://epsilon3.io/contact ), and we can take it from there?

Awesome! Definitely will be filling it out. Just had to ask the obvious ITAR question, so I could set my expectations appropriately of course.

Im sure you’re getting the same feedback from a lot of other non-USA potential customer so it’s great to hear you already have a plan.

I don't understand yet the pain being adressed. If today it can be solved with pen and paper or Word, it looks to me that realtime sync or data visualization were not a must (disasters seem to be avoided today just as well). Nice to have, without doubt, but not a must. So your software makes it a nice experience for everybody involved, right?

There's a ton of time wasted in miscommunications and lost paper records or illegible handwriting on test logs. And there have been many disasters and lives lost in the past, so anything that can be done to avoid that is worth seriously considering. Plus we make it a nicer experience and way faster.

Very true, papers are so time consuming and risky... eh. Otherwise maybe we are not thinking about the same events, so can you please detail some many disasters and lives lost? The only ones coming to mind are the space shuttles...

Is the any planned integration with requirement tracking software such as DOORS? If it were possible to flow test results back into the requirement specification systems it could seriously save a lot of time and money. Also, for commenting on procedure steps are there any additional tools available for the text formatting? We find we have to do a lot of red lining and colour coding as things progress to track deviati…

Most certainly! We are planning to integrate with all software packages that our customers are using to enable really efficient operations for them. We have a few Next Gen DOORS customers, as well as other requirements tracking tools. I love the suggestions! In addition, we can comment and actively redline running procedures. If you want me to show you I'd be happy to. You can email me at laura@epsilon3.io and in add…

Thats really cool to hear, I hate working with DOORS, so anything to automate the interaction is great!

If it is ok with you, can I pass on your information to our Business Development team, I will stay involved for sure, but they are the best positioned to see how the software could fit into our systems.
