Challenges for Hardware Startups

Hardware has always been a challenging area for companies of all sizes. Developing a new product is inherently expensive, time-consuming, and high-risk. These challenges are inflated for hardware startups who don’t have the size, experience, or capital to negotiate, invest or absorb a loss. Manufacturing becomes an especially notable challenge for these startups.

PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) manufacturing has traditionally been dominated by large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that can commit to substantial production volumes. This means prototyping, testing, and small-batch runs have often been financially penalized as they have been considered not worth the effort. Or the costs are simply just too high as minimum orders exceed what’s viable for a small business.

However, many of these challenges are now being addressed by modern technologies that reduce risk, offer tools as a service, and eliminate investment barriers.

Reinvesting Manufacturing Output Into Talent

At the end of the day, a hardware team is only as good as its players. Many teams trying to innovate within small HR budgets must maintain a balance between investing in skills and being financially viable. By removing the need for startups to have manufacturing expertise as part of their core team, MacroFab assists in this challenge. It used to be that many teams had dedicated manufacturing members who spent hours searching for manufacturing partners, confirming pricing, and vetting them for quality. As a MacroFab client, all of those things are managed through a single point of contact. This frees up capital to invest in more central skills such as product design, electrical engineering, and marketing.

MacroFab is here to help you navigate manufacturing hurdles effectively. We offer:
