HARDWARE COMMUNITY
Hardware City brought makers, entrepreneurs, startups and industry partners together around product development. Building a hardware product is hard, especially when moving from an idea to production. We wanted people to have the knowledge and connections to make that journey easier.
OUR MISSION
Hardware City advocated for product innovation on all fronts:
SHARE WHAT MAKES BETTER PRODUCTS
Understand how to execute better products and share that knowledge with everyone, from early ideas through development and industrialization.
CONNECT STARTUPS AND INDUSTRY
Build a bridge between startups and industry partners, including manufacturers, so ideas, expertise and opportunities can meet.
GROW AN OPEN COMMUNITY
Create an open and sustainable community around product development where makers, entrepreneurs and industry can share skills, collaborate and support one another.
BUILDING TOGETHER
HARDWARE STARTUPS
Developing hardware products is hard. A community with experience across product development and industrialization can help startups learn from others and find the right partners.
COMMUNITY OF MAKERS
Makers bring creativity and technical skills to the table. Sharing those skills and experimenting together makes room for new ideas.
INDUSTRY
Moving from product development to industrialization is a big step. Connecting startups with manufacturers and other industry partners helps bridge that gap.
