Hardware Workshop – Helping hardware founders build better companies – November 22nd-23 – Astro Studios, San Francisco. Marc writes –
I’m excited to announce our first Hardware Workshop in San Francisco on November 22nd and 23rd.
The workshop is a two day event for founders of hardware startups to help you learn how to get from an idea to market fit. The curriculum is broken up into a series of 60 minute sessions, taught by experienced hardware startup operators. This workshop goes beyond “how to crowdfund an MVP” to provide lessons applicable in building a successful hardware startup. We hope you leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of what it takes to turn your idea into a successful company.
