Ask HN: Hardware start-ups on HN?
The hardware start-ups that come to mind include both of Musk's companies, the disastrously launched sleep mate product last year, and possibly Square's payment acceptance swiper. I'm drawing a blank otherwise.
Anyone working on shipping physical products? We're personally doing RFID tech for jewelry companies.
- leoedin 14y agoThere's a lot of hardware startups you don't hear about. HN has its roots in web apps, so inevitably you hear a lot about web apps on HN. I think if you look in a particular niche you'll find there's a lot of fairly young companies building interesting hardware in a whole range of fields. Kickstarter's awash with hardware funding drives.
- cm2012 14y agoCool, thanks for the tip!
- Jonovono 14y agoI am looking to do a hardware startup right now. But I do software stuff so mainly just meeting people that may be interested in the idea and then hopefully soon put together a prototype!
