How We Work TogetherMost founders arrive ready to build. The first thing we do is make sure they're building in the right direction. Here's how we work together. | |
Focused feasibility snapshot — delivered in less than a weekTechnical DiagnosticUnder one week - $800 - Find out what's standing between your concept and proof — including what you haven't thought to look for. We map your Critical Unknowns, assess the risk each one poses, and deliver a clear recommended path forward — with a technical layer for the engineering side and a plain-language summary for business decisions. The right starting point before you move full speed in the wrong direction. |
Deep technical assessment with experiment designsFeasibility Pathfinder2-3 weeks - A deep technical assessment of your concept — experiment designs, competitive technical analysis, and a clear go/no-go recommendation. Builds on the Diagnostic to give you everything needed to move into development with a validated plan, not just a gut feeling. The right next step when you're ready to commit to a direction. |
Hands-on validation and proof of concept executionDevelopment Engine6 weeks to 6 months - For founders ready to move. We work alongside your team to advance your hardware concept through targeted, physics-first development — building the technical proof that de-risks every step forward. The right engagement when you're ready to start turning unknowns into answers. |
Hands-on validation and proof of concept executionHardware CatalystMonthly retainer - Ongoing expert access for founders who want a trusted technical partner without a full execution engagement. Bi-weekly calls, async availability, and a monthly written summary that doubles as a running technical record of your project's progress. Fixed monthly rate, minimum commitment period applies. The right fit when you need expert judgment in your corner on a sustained basis. |
