Ask HN: Hardware Incubator/Accelerator
There seems to be plenty startup incubators or accelerators aimed at web and software startups, but I haven't heard about any that are meant to launch hardware startups.
Has anyone here heard of any? I'm a hardware engineer, and I want to move from away from the large corporation I'm in now. However, most of the discussion you read on sites such as this are aimed at software.

You have to deal with messy, expensive physical stuff. But Meraki shows what you can do if you're willing to venture even a little way into hardware. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit in hardware; you can often do dramatically new things by making comparatively small tweaks to existing stuff.

- natemartin 17y agoInteresting. I guess I had always assumed YC was really aimed at more software startups, I'll take a closer look.

- natemartin 17y agoI hadn't heard of them. They align pretty closely with some of my goals as well. Thanks for the link!
