Hardware is hard.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Build the future of hardware with us
HardTech Hub connects founders and entrepreneurs with the right people, knowledge, and resources at the right time to launch and scale their businesses. From prototype to production, we’re the community built specifically for the unique challenges of bringing physical products to market.
The hardware challenge
Building physical technology involves complex challenges that software founders rarely encounter—capital intensity, manufacturing complexity, supply chain management, and regulatory hurdles. The path from prototype to production is fraught with expensive pitfalls, and finding advisors who truly understand these challenges can feel impossible.
That’s why we built HardTech Hub
HardTech Hub was born from the recognition that hardware founders need specialized support that most entrepreneurial ecosystems don’t provide.
How we help
Workshops
Our Workshops bring hardware innovators together to solve real challenges in focused, collaborative sessions. Whether troubleshooting specific technical problems in Engineering Therapy or exploring critical industry topics in our [***Startup Pop-Ups], these events transform isolated struggles into shared learning experiences. Each session connects you with experts and peers who speak your language, providing immediate solutions while building relationships that extend beyond the event itself.
Peer Groups
Our Peer Advisory Groups connect founders at every stage with trusted peers who understand the unique challenges of building physical products. Through facilitated monthly sessions, members gain perspective on their toughest decisions, share hard-won wisdom, and build relationships that extend far beyond the boardroom. Whether you’re finalizing your first prototype or scaling global production, join a community designed to help hardware innovators overcome obstacles and accelerate growth.
Prototyping Lab
HardTech Hub’s Prototyping Lab provides engineers with access to equipment, workspace, and technical guidance in a collaborative environment. Beyond tools, the lab offers something more valuable: a community space where innovators work alongside each other, sharing expertise and breaking the isolation of early-stage development. Join our waitlist to access the resources you need to transform your concepts into physical reality while connecting with others on similar journeys.
HARDWARE NEEDS ITS OWN COMMUNITY
