Title: Hardware From Idea to Proof: De-Risking the Path to Market

​Description: Hardware founders face a difficult gap: investors often want to see a product customers are ready to buy, but getting there can require significant time, capital, and technical development.

​So what progress actually matters before the finished product exists?

​The Subject Matter: We’ll discuss how hardware founders can de-risk the path from idea to market — from IP and technical strategy to prototype development, customer validation, and the milestones that help demonstrate meaningful progress along the way.

​Why Attend: Compare approaches with other hardware founders, pressure-test the decisions ahead, and hear how peers are thinking about technical risk, customer proof, and the path toward a market-ready product.

​Capped at 15 seats to keep the conversation candid, practical, and founder-led.
