As a Start-up Team, Can You Relate to Any of These Challenges?
Your current design has many features and it’s inflating your BOM costs to the point that your business won’t be profitable. To add to your challenges, your team can’t agree on what features and functions are “must-haves” vs “nice to haves”.
You’re aware that design for manufacturability is crucial to your success but you need help navigating the complex and intimidating world of manufacturing. You need perspective on what materials, methods and vendors make the most sense for your product and business.
You need help dialing in your go-to-market plan and nailing your product-market fit. You know you need to get laser focused on your entry point into the market, your value proposition, and articulating why you are better than the competition – you just need help tying it all together and presenting it in a compelling way.
A significant portion of your product requires extensive electronics integration. In early development, you know that using off-the-shelf components is the way to go, but you can’t figure out what combination of components to use and how this will change when you move to mass production.
Our Expertise. Your Accelerated Path To Market.
Design Review $10k-30k
- During your design review, we’ll review the current state of your design and provide feedback, point out areas of concern and make suggestions on improvements.
- Conducting your design review before prototyping will save you a significant amount of time and money before you actually invest in creating new prototypes.
- We provide design reviews for conceptual or detailed designs which can include schematics, layout, mechanical, software, and firmware designs.
- In our experience, start-up teams that engage us in the design review process enjoy lower development costs, enhanced innovation along with decreased time to market and improvements in design for manufacturability.
