Zach Supalla Announces Particle

MakerCon was full of exciting announcements, interesting presentations, and even a few surprises. Zach Supalla, co-founder and CEO of Spark IO, shocked many when he ended his presentation announcing that going forward, Spark IO will now be Particle.

We caught up with Supalla and discussed his experiences building the company, his decision to change their name to Particle, and when the backers of their second crowdfunding campaign can expect to receive their new Photon boards.

Once we get our hands on the new Photon board, you can be sure we’ll have an unboxing and review. Stay tuned.
