This seems like a space that is just waiting to get occupied by some entrepreneurial wizardry. There is a huge gap in terms of where to discover and buy relatively nascent technology; a hole somewhere between graduated Kickstarter projects and Best Buy. Where do these somewhat untested vendors go to hawk their novel products? Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc certainly wont be selling items that are just trying to break into the market yet show a great deal of promise.
Grand St seems like they're on to something here...
- stephengillie 14y agoThere certainly is a space for an organization which handles the production and distribution for hardware hackers. Grand St could let a maker upload an idea, put up a page, and attract people kickstarter-style. Once people start ordering, Grand St would automatically start manufacturing the items and shipping them. They'd need to purchase manufacturing hardware, lease space, pay employees to manufacture and ship these, so Grand St would take a percent of the profits, but this could easily be a non-profit organization.
