Patchr is an Austin-based startup led by Chaotic Moon alum Eric Schneider, who received media attention for his creative pet projects ranging from a flame-throwing drone to "Tech Tats," temporary tattoos that read biometric data. Schneider started Patchr as an extension of his passion for designing hardware with electrical components, which often requires the creation of custom PCBs.
