This time, Hardware Pioneers has teamed up with , , and to run an evening of discussions about making and manufacturing consumer hardware products. You’ll hear stories from hardware founders and engineers, take part in roundtable discussions about hardware design and manufacturing, learn how
can help you prepare for manufacturing – plus network with other hardware founders and enthusiasts.
What you'll learn
- Basics of putting together an RFQ package.
- From prototyping to production – should you make or buy your board?
- AI and machine learning for hardware startups
When it comes to hardware, having an innovative idea is just the start. Engineering a product for manufacturing can be a daunting process that takes years to get right. Kickstarter has teamed up with the manufacturing experts at Avnet and Dragon Innovation to create , a resource to help creators plan for manufacturing before launching a campaign.
Participants will take home a free [kit name].

Basics of Putting Together an RFQ Package - Led by Nicolas Avril at Dragon Innovation
If you've wondered the purpose of putting together an RFQ (Request for Quote) package prior to selecting a manufacturing partner, this session is for you. We’ll cover what should go into an RFQ and how to organize it, plus when the right time is to approach CMs, as well as how to attract the appropriate CM at competitive pricing.
7:45pm - 8:00pm
Roundtable Session 3: AI and Machine Learning for Hardware Startups - Led by Tim Bassford at Avnet Memec - Silica
In this session, you’ll get a high-level overview of a startup-focussed AI/machine learning platform, and have the opportunity to ask questions about how to incorporate AI/machine learning into your own hardware product.
