Hardware at Software Speed
A launchpad for founders who use AI to shorten the hardware development cycle
AI helps founders shorten hardware development.
Hardware development used to take months of iterations and wrangling the link between software and hardware. AI has collapsed that into days and weeks.
./ Why now
Less cost per attempt.
More room to learn.
AI reduces attempt cost
A revision gets cheap.
AI helps with the schematic, layout checks, firmware and the datasheet. The expensive part of each attempt shrinks.
Cheaper attempts, more of them
So you take more attempts.
When an attempt costs less, you try again. More attempts mean faster iteration and more learning from each board.
A lower barrier to entry
So more people can build.
A working board becomes within reach of more people, not only established teams with big budgets.
Funding Ready faster than ever
Through our various events founders will move from idea to funding ready faster than ever before through a network of mentors, resources and AI tooling
From Initial Idea
Whether you are dipping your toes into hardware or shipping your own boards there's an event for you
To Funding Ready
We get founders from idea to Readiness Level 6 (TRL6) faster with the help of AI native hardware development
./ How we do it
For Builders
Recurring
Build Nights & Hackathons
Build solutions around a specific theme together with other builders. Open to a range of experience levels, with mentors on hand.
Open call
Reverse Pitch Nights
Companies put real hardware challenges and opportunities forward. We take them up on our build platform, and builders build towards them at our hackathons.
Recurring
Masterclasses
We draw on our network to bring in experts in Robotics, Design, Hardware and AI to share knowledge and experience with the community
Date: TBC
//reverse pitches
For partners
Bring us a challenge through a Reverse Pitch night. Every challenge that comes in goes into one open library. Builders can browse it, pick one and start. Each entry says what the problem is, what a good answer needs to do and what has been tried so far. The library grows with every reverse pitch, and nothing in it is a hypothetical exercise.
