ProvenMetal, a Y Combinator S26 company, aims to revitalize domestic PCB manufacturing by delivering assembled circuit boards in days, a stark contrast to the weeks typically required.

Founded by Will & Johnny, the company addresses the decline of US PCB production, which has fallen from 30% in 2000 to 4%, with China now dominating at 55%. Traditional domestic manufacturers often lack efficient front-end processes, requiring customers to handle component sourcing and lengthy quoting.

ProvenMetal automates quoting, design for manufacture (DFM) review, and crucially, component procurement. Their system integrates with design software like KiCAD and Altium to source parts early, mitigating the biggest bottleneck. They manage the entire process domestically, from sourcing to assembly and testing, offering a seven-day standard turnaround without expedite fees. This approach has already generated $70k in revenue across 11 orders in six weeks, with a focus on speed and accountability for drone and defense clients.
