Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.

Layup Parts promises to “revolutionize” composites, because that’s exactly what every startup says. Zack Eakin’s experience with Palmer Luckey and Elon Musk is supposed to make us trust him. The goal is to make composites faster, cheaper, and better, because who doesn’t want that? It’s not like we’ve heard that before.

Original observation: Because what the world really needed was another “revolutionary” materials startup.
