Sam/Paul, what is the most important thing you look for in a hardware startup (that is not also shared with software startups)?

  In general, there aren't any differences. We're looking for people who can create something that people will want. For hardware companies, that will likely require some hardware skills, so show us that you have what it takes to ship whatever it is that you are building. You should also have a good understanding of how much capital will be required to ship your v1, as that will often be an issue if you're actually manufacturing something.
