CircuitHub Raises $28M Series A Round Led By Plural

Founded in 2011 by Andrew Seddon, Rehno Lindeque, and Jon Friedman, CircuitHub is developing what it describes as the world’s first hyper-scale, high-mix electronics manufacturing system.

While its first manufacturing site was established in Massachusetts to serve US customers, the company maintains deep R&D roots in Cambridge, UK, alongside a growing London team and plans for broader European manufacturing expansion.

CircuitHub is focused on solving one of the hardware industry’s biggest challenges: slow, fragmented, and labour-intensive production processes. Through its online platform, engineers can upload design files, configure orders instantly, and receive production-ready printed circuit boards (PCBs) within days instead of months.

At the core of its manufacturing model is the “Grid,” a 5,000-square-foot automated factory module powered by robotics, computer vision and proprietary manufacturing software.

The system enables simultaneous production of everything from single prototypes to batches of 10,000 units across multiple designs, making flexible low-volume manufacturing economically viable.

The company is targeting a rapidly growing electronics manufacturing services market, noting that roughly 95% of electronics projects involve fewer than 10,000 units.

Despite this, most traditional factories remain optimised for large-scale offshore production, particularly in China. CircuitHub’s localised and automated production approach aims to address rising labour costs, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical risks affecting legacy manufacturers.

CircuitHub positions itself as a more agile alternative to major electronics manufacturing companies such as Jabil, Flex and Foxconn, while also competing with automation-focused platforms like MacroFab.

Since launch, the company says it has delivered more than two million boards and placed over 133 million components for 20,000 engineers worldwide.

The newly raised funding will support the expansion of CircuitHub’s modular automated factories across Europe and North America, strengthen its engineering team, and broaden its platform into a full-service electronics manufacturing solution.

“Today, hardware companies face a tough choice: either spin up their own vertically integrated manufacturing from scratch, or rely on a legacy Western supply chain that’s been decaying for years. CircuitHub is the alternative: providing remote access to a cutting-edge factory through your browser or your AI agent. Just as software companies share cloud compute, hardware companies can now share our Grid,” notes CEO Andrew Seddon.
