Saddens me that there are not many mechanical hardware companies from any YC year/season and this year is no exception.

- starky 8y agoYeah, it is always disappointing that there aren't more startups around doing hardware. I think a large portion of that is that hardware is quite expensive to develop and requires a lot of space. From the YC perspective it doesn't really work with the 3 month rapid iteration schedule, that is barely enough time to get tooled prototypes.
- mmt 8y agoDoes anyone know how many apply (or have applied historically)?
- boxcardavin 8y agoI interviewed, I've talked to several other robotics companies that interviewed for S18. Absolutely dumbfounded that none of them made it, some of these in the batch seem like they could never be worth $10b.
- syntaxing 8y agoDo you know of any open opportunities for Mechanical Engineers on the East Coast at these robotics company?
- boxcardavin 8y agoSorry no, I'd have to dig up my notes from the interview and I'm slammed working on my startup. You don't wanna move to the west coast? You like bicycles and robots perchance?
