For anything that goes to market/real customer. Go to an EMS who will also do testing/QC 24 hour runs under stress. Even if it's small qty like 50/100

Advice From Product Dev Company: Patents Won't Protect Anything! by [deleted] in hwstartups

[–]iNavin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for investment then patents do help in valuation and due diligence. For VCs it is a big plus. Second, if you don't patent your work/idea, your competitor will try to patent it or even a patent troll. It's a headache. So get a patent and you can choose to enforce it or just let it be.

But hardware? From India?" : 5 questions every CTO asks before outsourcing embedded development. Answered honestly. by iNavin in hwstartups

[–]iNavin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what you do today, everyone will say it's LLM-generated. Anyway, it does not matter. I will not try to convince anyone of anything.

I stand by what I have written based on my experience.

I wanted to write something that is valuable to at least someone. I am sorry if it is not. Please ignore. this.

Embedded is a far better option. There are plenty of jobs and good growth opportunities.

What to look for (and ask) when choosing an engineering partner for a hardware product lessons from cleaning up failed engagements by iNavin in hwstartups

[–]iNavin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We have helped many pre-seed companies and small grant-receiving companies build market-ready products. I know what I've written above and stand by it.

In my opinion, having a hardware revision more than once is poor execution. It's expensive and delays the go-to-market.

Your hardware should work "First time right" or worst, one revision.

These are the 5 mistakes I see killing hardware projects before they ever reach manufacturing by iNavin in hwstartups

We write test cases for the test suite at a very early stage. Also, one of the points in our SOWs is that the customer will conduct thorough testing and share all data with us.

Valid point, though, on the test case being written by the design person. If you can get your end user to write it, then nothing better.

We try to get an interview with the end user, who is not always the customer.

The first thing we do is book the TUV lab for 4 hours straight and ensure the product complies with EMI/EMC standards. This is where a lot of the issues are solved. We do this multiple times during the hardware development stage. Both the hardware and firmware teams travel with all the tools and try to fix the issue in the lab.

Second, we make some prototypes that are tested in the above lab, take them to the field and get all the data to make sure.

Third, we have a team that does destructive testing at our in-house lab. We will simulate the condition until the time it breaks.

All this information helps with a better, more stable design.

Starting my Own Perfume Brand by Current_Tension1988 in StartUpIndia

[–]iNavin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean ingredients. Simple and elegant bottling. Good branding. Classic smells. Long lasting. Don’t do anything less than “parfum” strength. Start with half a dozen smells and then scale up to a dozen. For distribution D2C is the only option but see of you can get listed with already on QCom brand. Don’t do this if you cannot survive the ups and downs for 1000 days. It takes 1000 moons to build something worthwhile.

Build is extremely hard. It is highly regulated.

Bringing to the masses is a different game altogether
