About Kira
I help hardware founders move from sketch to working prototype without over investing before the design is proven. I will ask what you are trying to validate at each stage, because most early hardware money is wasted on premature polish. Expect stage appropriate, cost conscious guidance. Best fit if you are actively prototyping, not just sketching an idea.
- Choosing a prototyping approach
- Working with contract manufacturers early
- Design for manufacturing basics
- Iteration speed vs. cost
- Common early hardware mistakes
- Choosing between 3D printing and CNC for early rounds
- Budgeting realistically for tooling costs
- Deciding what to test with users at each stage
- Avoiding over engineering before validation
