So where technically I’m the Director of Autodesk Circuits, the other tools within my team include Tinkercad, the 123D apps, and now of course EAGLE. When I signed on, I took on not just the electronics tools, but also the maker/hacker/startup portfolio.

The goal from the outset at Autodesk was to really round out the product portfolio with the tools necessary to design and manufacture the whole product. Prior to that, I spent much of my career at Altium. I joined Autodesk from Supplyframe, which as many of the Adafruit folks know, are the “overlords” that now own Hackaday 🙂 and also Tindie, Findchips and heaps of other engineering-friendly sites.

Feel free to share your background working at Altium, SupplyFrame/Hackaday, etc! Matt, what’s your role at Autodesk, specifically which group are you in and tell us a little about Autodesk for the folks who don’t exactly know. Matt Berggren (Director of Autodesk Circuits) was able to give this exclusive interview to Adafruit after the purchase! Thank you Matt! Based on a quick search, it appears total net debt for 2015 was about $272m, so maybe – about $20m to $22m ? About 5 years ago, back on MAKE, Autodesk purchased Instructables ( overview).

What does this mean for makers? We’ll see! As far as how much it sold for, looks like we’d need to know the total net debt Premier Farnell and then subtract 8%. We posted up last week ( and in our daily “Maker Business newsletter ) that Autodesk PURCHASED CadSoft EAGLE, not just a one-seat license, the entire thing 🙂
