From the mail bag

I just wanted to thank you for your “15 steps…” article. I’m 54, unemployed (again) after making a fortune for another employer. This may take a bit, but I am definitely pursuing your 15 steps. I have a reprint of the article hanging on the wall in my home office. I just wanted to say “Thank You.” – Steve


[Limor Fried…] has made Adafruit Industries into a successful electronics-kit business, and, based on her own experience, offers these 15 practical steps for engineers who dream of starting their own kit business.

Fried based her rules on the following assumptions: First, there is only one of you. Multiple people in a business make everything far too complex. Second, these rules assume that you have a job and can provide your own seed capital. Third, you are computer-literate, and the Internet doesn’t scare you. If those assumptions about you are correct, read on for the rules.

Here is the 15 steps to making a kit business.


Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

  1. WOW!!! Did not know this article existed! I’m kind of in the same (employment) boat as Steve right now, and am thinking about starting a kit business. That is a HUGE help, especially the pricing. 🙂 Thanks a bunch Ladyada, you rock!
