Who is "microchipusa.com"???..........
« on: September 16, 2022, 08:47:34 pm »
They got listed on findchips, and sometimes appear to have stock in the 1000s of otherwise impossible to get parts like STM32 micros. 

Their "About" page isn't exactly confidence instilling.  The bios read like high school yearbook captions.  And calling yourself a "serial entrepreneur" isn't something that makes me respect you more....  https://microchipusa.com/about/

Who are these guys?  What is their primary market?  Anyone here ever bought anything from them?

Here is the linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/microchip-usa/about/
Doesn't look like they have anything to do with https://www.microchip.com/

Super impressive! 20 years combined experience for a staff of 15!

There’s that famous saying: “It’s better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” I think a similar sentiment might apply to their “about us” page.

I do not see one grey beard on the "about" page...... That should be cause for skepticism of any "electronics" company.

I had the exact same reaction. There are some facts they really don't need to publicise, especially to a public of engineers that will pick up that kind of stuff immediately.

Yep. It’s not that I don’t want young entrepreneurs to succeed. But they’d have been wiser to say nothing at all about their background than to make it obvious that they’re all extremely inexperienced.

That's an odd criticism. They don't claim to develop electronics. They claim to distribute electronics. They should look like sales people, and the pictures do. They got that part right.
