I'm really wondering who this is aimed at that a 50% discount would make any difference. As an individual hobbyist, this is a service that provides maybe $50-100 worth of value to me at most. If I was looking to start some kind of businesses in my garage, my very first priority in putting the business together would be making sure either I or a partner knew how to do this ourselves, so the value add would be ~$0. If I'm a cog in some big corporation, I can probably put $949 on a corporate credit card just as easily as $475.

- true_religion 6y agoProbably researchers working with grant money, or people in corporate R&D with tight deadlines, but not so tight budgets. They also save you from having to learn how to actually design the board yourself, so if you don't know how to do that with modern tooling, then you can pay $1000 for someone else to do it per board, rather than hire someone out of your project budget to do it.
