I'm currently working on prototypes for a potential hardware start up, and I'd love to hear more from the HN community that has dealt with that hardware software interaction for a start up.
This place seems pretty software focused, but there must be some more hardware people out there as well.
- blackguardx 17y agoI'm a hardware guy. In my opinion, the easiest way to start a hardware startup is to target businesses. It makes things so much simpler than having to worry about selling to the general public.
- joe_bleau 17y agoWe do hardware, but we're not a startup. (Very small company, though.) What would you like to hear?
- theschwa 17y agoI'd like to hear more about the process of finding a manufacturer. In particularly, the back and forth between working on prototypes and tweaking the hardware and relaying the information to the manufacturer. Also, how important the connection between hardware and any software.
