Launch YC: Jiga: The White Box Manufacturing Platform 🦾

"Better parts through better communication"

TL;DR: Jiga is a sourcing platform that enables engineers to get quick quotes and place orders with manufacturing suppliers, maintaining full transparency and direct communication to the manufacturer who actually make the parts. They are proud to help the best engineering teams in the world bring their products quickly from idea to production, including blue-chip accounts such as Tesla, NASA, Apple, KLA, Siemens, and others.

Founded by Adar Hay, Yonatan Wolowelsky & Assaf Geuz

Why They Built Jiga?

Mechanical engineers often face challenges when sourcing custom parts, such as managing messy email threads and maintaining spreadsheets of quotes and quote requests.

These inefficiencies often lead to miscommunication, delays, and increased costs, making the procurement process time-consuming and frustrating for both sides.

On the other hand, many digital manufacturing services provide instant quotes but completely hide the manufacturer from the engineers, making it very hard to collaborate on complex parts. Imagine you are an engineer that spent weeks on designing a part on your 3D software, you need to talk to the machinist and explain them the small nuances in your design. Otherwise, they will get it completely wrong and valuable time and money will be wasted.

They call it "The Black Box Problem".

Their Solution

Jiga platform offers a transparent way to connects engineers directly with vetted suppliers, facilitating efficient collaboration and communication.

By eliminating the middleman, they reduce support expenses, enhance scalability by empowering suppliers to manage support, and create strong network effects through collaborative workflows.

They use AI under the hood to automate all the manual tasks that engineers (and no one else, really) want to do: matching the right suppliers, monitoring production processes, finding and reporting discrepancies, extracting data from engineering and procurement documents, following up, mitigating delays, and more.
