Best time to build something is NOW. We see the beginning of 4 huge macro trends that will change the way we work and live: AI, Energy, Robotics, Domestic manufacturing.
Published an article on @Forbes to guide innovators through a process of building #electronics products.
Do you really need a custom #hardware?
When you validated demand using an existing solutions, but off-the-shelf components limit performance or scalability
Should you spend time and money on securing #patents for your product? Or even patenting something you are not building yourself to sue others and collect royalties?
Physical products involve a lot of challenges.
- Upfront #engineering costs: from $50k to $2M+
- #Development time: 12-24 months from start to product on the shelf
- #SupplyChain and logistics: finding and working with the factory in Asia
Physical products involve a lot of challenges.
- Import #tariffs: paying 25-50% import dues is no joke! - #Certifications: $50k - 200k and 2-6 months of tests - #Warranty and #liability: continuously
List goes on.
Why would you want to build your own #hardware devices?
Let's be honest. Most your advisors and investors HATE the idea that you are building your own #ConsumerElectronics device.
They ask: Can it just be an app?
Can you source existing hardware from China for now?
Bringing Los Angeles #HardTech ecosystem together at #LATechWeek. Great panel discussion about funding, developing, and manufacturing #hardware products.

Love seeing our friends at @ajprotech use Lume Pad 2 to show the "art of the possible" Smart IOT visualizations in 3D at CEDIA conference in Denver #cediaexpo2024
What's more important: unique creative design or Manufacturability? How to combine them in a product? Let's look at @Lamborghini example
#Lamborghini is known for impressive design and performance. That put Lamborghini on a map. They created a PRODUCT. High cost, low volume.
Neurospatial dinner by @OpenBCI in San Francisco. Discussing future of Brain to Computer #BCI interfaces and #VirtualReality in Medical and Wellness applications. Scientists, researchers, and startups. Amazing growing industry with lots of innovation!
Discussing future of technology with @PeterDiamandis and amazing group of visionaries and entrepreneurs at #A360 summit.
Elon Musk and #AI revolution. Progress has never been so rapid. AGI in less than 5 years.
Other takeaways from @elonmusk and others:
- #AI integration in all business is unavoidable
- #Neurofeedback combined with Virtual Reality creates powerful impact
- Factory automation with #humanoid robots is real
- Personalized medicine is coming
