The Hardware Showcase of San Francisco
Hardware After Hours, presented by Cushman & Wakefield, Pilot, and Clarity Labs
--
A night for the founders, engineers, and operators building robots, machines, devices, and other physical products.
No panels. No pitch competition. Just music, food, a few short conversations about the realities of building hardware, and plenty of time to meet people who understand why this stuff is hard.
We’ll have a few machines and prototypes around the room, plus an optional two-minute open mic. If you’re working on something that travels easily, feel free to bring it.

Hardware needs more than an office. Cushman & Wakefield helps companies find spaces where they can build, test, store inventory, and expand without outgrowing the room six months later.
Hardware accounting gets complicated fast. Pilot helps founders understand where the money is going, what each unit actually costs, and which tax credits they may be leaving behind.
Insurance usually becomes urgent right before a lease is signed or a customer is ready to buy. Clarity Labs helps founders understand what they need, why they need it, and what it should actually cost.
