I offer Raspberry Pi kits due to shortages/scalper bots. Most of my customers can't find 1-3 Raspberry Pi 4, but I'm able to place orders for 50+ units. I'm not sure if I'll continue the kit line of business; fulfilling hardware products as a solo founder is tough.

I am a bit skeptical dad but damn these look nice! The price is justifiable, although personally I'd hesitate because the seat is only good for about 2 years, and the seat seems to weigh higher than Nuna products which we got.
More like 18 months or less based on the height and weight limit, completely impractical pricing
Hardware is hard – not just the actual work, but the different approaches needed to development, management, and fundraising. We started in the consumer space, moved to the retail/customer service space, and only really hit our stride when we pivoted to the logistics space.
Our series A was announced last week so there's plenty of momentum and the industry generally is enthusiastic about technology. Ongoing improvements in robotics technology generally is finally making this sort of application feasible!

We make edge AI cameras. After focusing on services for a while, it has been a different type of journey to switch to the product. We did an open source pilot product on esp32, and got surprisingly more interest than we thought, so now we are working on a high performance (4k, 60fps, AI chip) device.

We make the world's best baby car seats. https://www.kioma.us Fatherly Magazine calls it "The Car Seat of the Future". It's been crash tested, flight inversion tested, flammability tested and mom tested. It is full of patented innovations to make kids safer and parenting more enjoyable. It required lots of material science, production techniques, supply chain adjustments, and a surprising amount of software (to model…
We develop huge 32" interactive display touch screens for trade shows and conferences that allow users to interact with apps and websites that a company wants to show. They look amazing and are always a show stopper for booths. They run a custom os based on AOSP which allows companies to use there pre made android app for the display instead of having to build anything custom. We also offer a website module that will…
Got an email bounce from your address. Would love to hear about your AOSP experience!
Loads of hardware startups, but the communities are not in the Bay, Seattle or NYC. Most of the activity is not being generated by Americans or in America. Lots are being started in India, Dubai and China. Even the ones based out of the US or Singapore spend most of their time in Shenzen. In the US, I routinely see robotics and Healthcare hardware startups in Boston or San Diego, pseudo attached to the local universi…
There are tons of small companies making hardware for oil & gas applications, but you'll mostly find them in areas where their customers are located (e.g. Texas, Alberta) and/or LCOL cities where you can find cheap real estate. This also applies to other industries like agriculture and automotive.
These aren't "sexy" companies so you don't hear much about them, but I'd wager that if you add them up, they'd outnumber the number of hardware startups in NYC and the Bay Area.
