Ask HN: How do I find electronic engineers who'll join a startup?
I'm a web/software developer by trade, and I'm intending on starting a company that will involve building electronic devices, mainly focused on the IoT industry.
I live in the West Midlands area of the UK, so I'm far from the startup bustle in the US.
What would be the best way to meet people who would be interested in joining a startup company in this part of the world?
- bashit 8y agoI took a graduate course on IoT development with a concentration on Bluetooth Mesh. My professor happened to be very enthusiastic and passionate about bluetooth. Apparently he started a meetup on IoT and IIoT. The meetup now has received alot of attention. Therefore, maybe take a class, attend a lecture, or search for a meetup. Perhaps reaching out to a university professor would be helpful in getting their perspective. Sounds like you need to grow your network.
- kentleigh 8y agoMy network is definitely lacking; I suppose that's part of what I'm wondering, is where to start to meet more people; honestly most people I meet aren't exactly looking to get involved in building a new company while also being skilled. Contacting professors and attending lectures are not something I would've considered, so thank you for that suggestion.
