We discussed all things Hardware Startups today, and we're happy to share the insights of those talks and pick up the conversation here!
Our panelists and team referenced awesome and helpful resources for startup-founders.
Below is a list of the helpful tools and resources talked about today:
Hardware Cup
- Apply for Hardware Cup competitions for a chance at a \\\$50,000 prize
Innovation Works

- AlphaLab Gear - An arm of Innovation Works
Global Accelerator Network
- https://www.gan.co/
- The accelerator programs who are part of this network are focused on helping founders be successful wherever they operate from, and they aim to bring the best resources and mentors to one place.
- Joining GAN as a startup is free, I would highly recommend being part of their network! I’ve seen the resources at GAN significantly help other startups. We’ve been partnered with GAN to ensure that startups are aware of our Program for a few years, and we have only great things to say about the ways that GAN supports startups.
