I will implicitly trust anything Jessie Frazelle works on. Rare combination of taste, skill, and passion.

She stepped down several years ago. She was still listed as an advisor in some capacity, but she moved on to a different startup.

  From a 2024 interview: > In this episode, we sit down with Jessie Frazelle, CEO and co-founder of Zoo, a company working on innovative software and hardware technology. Jessie shares her fascinating journey, from getting her start at digital agencies to working at tech giants like Google and Microsoft and ultimately co-founding her own successful startup, Zoo. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MkDJMiB_8U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MkDJMiB_8U > Zoo makes CAD truly AI-native with a modern geometry engine, readable code, and an editable feature tree at its core, enabling AI to make precise geometric changes without trapping users in a chat-only workflow. https://zoo.dev https://zoo.dev View our current openings: https://zoo.dev/careers https://zoo.dev/careers Check out our blog: https://zoo.dev/blog https://zoo.dev/blog * https://www.linkedin.com/company/zoodotdev/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/zoodotdev/ * https://zoo.dev https://zoo.dev

    Zoo really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They got so many things about CAD right (new kernel, solid UI, programmatic language with either graphical or text editing) then they went and did this extremely online-only/SaaS model where they're rendering and streaming the 3D from their cloud. And last time I checked your design files live on their cloud. That's just not an acceptable modality of software for complex hardware industries. I'm not going to launch a half-decade long engineering project on a subscription software where I rent access to my own design files and logic. You can't access CAD on a plane, in flaky WiFi, or at a remote test facility or site. Until they let me just buy and run their software on my team's computers it's a non-starter.

      I'd find they'd be useful for prototyping, even though you lose revision history when you switch over to 360/catia w/e you use but it'd be finite enough where you could "restart".
