  • Fastcad

    Enterprise software

    FastCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) program developed by Evolution Computing for DOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems. The company and its software are the work of Mike Riddle, a pioneer in the PC-based CAD industry who wrote the first CAD software for micro-based computers, Interact, in 1979. Interact's architecture later became the foundation for early versions of AutoCAD. Riddle founded Evolution Computing to create CAD programs that prioritize speed, efficiency, and user-friendliness, a philosophy reflected in FastCAD's design. Over its more than 30-year history, the company has released numerous versions of its software, including EasyCAD (a 2D-only subset), FastCAD 3D, and FastCAD for Windows. FastCAD is written in x86 assembly language, which allows it to run efficiently even on basic hardware. The software is targeted at professionals like architects and engineers who require accurate technical drawings and blueprints. The business model appears to be a one-time purchase of a software license, with free updates provided frequently online and a 14-day fully functional trial available. Support is offered for the life of the product at no additional charge. The latest release, FastCAD Version 7, is a professional tool featuring both 2D and 3D modeling and rendering. Key features include the ability to work with multiple drawings and overlays, symbol definition editing, user-defined bitmap and hatch fills, and support for multiple file formats like DWG and DXF. The software is highly customizable, allowing users to create their own menus, icon bars, and macros. It utilizes double-precision math and an object-oriented codebase, resulting in extremely fast redraws and zooms. A significant differentiator is the company's focus on refining core functionalities based on customer feedback rather than adding marketable but less practical features.

  • Feeding Matters is a non-profit organization focused on improving the system of care for children with pediatric feeding disorder (PFD). The Goldwaters' journey began when their triplets, born 14 weeks early, all required feeding tubes and faced significant challenges with eating, which led them to establish a support system for other families. The organization rebranded as Feeding Matters in 2013 to better reflect its mission. A pivotal achievement was the successful advocacy for PFD to be recognized as a stand-alone medical diagnosis, which was included in the ICD-10 in October 2021. The organization's strategy is built on four pillars: education, research, advocacy, and family support. It serves families by providing resources and connecting them with healthcare professionals, and it also educates clinicians to improve collaborative care. Clients include families of children with PFD and the allied healthcare professionals who treat them. As a non-profit, Feeding Matters operates on donations and corporate partnerships to fund its programs. Key services include a peer-to-peer mentoring program called Power of Two, a financial assistance program, a provider directory, and educational resources like the Infant and Child Feeding Questionnaire©, which helps in the early identification of PFD. The organization also hosts the International Pediatric Feeding Disorder Conference and provides webinars and other learning opportunities for both parents and professionals. Feeding Matters unites a community of families, medical experts, and advocates to drive change and ensure children with PFD can thrive.
