Ngomhlaka-30 Januwari 2019, kwatholakala inqwaba yochwepheshe behadiwe ehhovisi lase -Synapse Product Development edolobheni laseSeattle. Ngokuvamile, abantu be-HW bambalwa emicimbini yezobuchwepheshe, kodwa hhayi kulokhu. Kwakuyini inhlokomo? I-Dragon Innovation yayilapho ukuxhasa iphaneli yokuqalisa ye-HW eyayihlanganisa nokumelwa okuvela ku -Hackster , Glowforge , kanye ne-Root Ventures.
Futhi, kwakunobhiya ompompini. Ngakho, lokho kuyinto okufanele buzzed ngayo. Nabu ubufakazi bezithombe bokuthi wonke umuntu wayejabule kangakanani:
Buka Ividiyo Yenkulumo
Bekunamathiphu amaningi abalulekile namathrendi ochwepheshe bephaneli ababelane ngawo phakathi nengxoxo. Ungabuka amaphuzu avelele kuvidiyo engezansi:
Ubani Owayekhuluma?
Scott N. Miller
UScott N. Miller, i-CEO ye- Dragon Innovation (inkampani ye-Avnet) uqondise iphaneli. Unolwazi oluningi lokungcolisa njengonjiniyela we-iRobot wasekuqaleni . Isizinda sakhe sezemfundo sisekunjiniyela wemishini futhi usebenzisa amarobhothi . . . kusobala . . . UMiller unolwazi olukhulu ngebhizinisi kanye nombono wentuthuko yesikhathi eside. Usebenzisa konke lokho izinkampani ezintsha ze-HW eziqondisayo eDragon, futhi wadala umqondisi ophelele waleli phaneli elihlukahlukene.
UHeather Brundage
UHeather Brundage wayengummeleli we -Synapse ephaneli. Ingxenye yesizinda sakhe ihlanganisa ukusebenza kumarobhothi acwiliswa emanzini. Manje usengumphathi we-akhawunti e-Synapse, esiza izinkampani ukuthi ziphile izingane zazo zehadiwe. NjengoMiller, uBrundage ulethe umbono obalulekile ngemibono yakhe ehlangene njengonjiniyela kanye nomuntu webhizinisi lebhizinisi.
Adam Benzion
U-Adam Benzion ungumsunguli kanye ne-CEO yeHackster . Ngaphambi kukaHackster, wathola ulwazi ngempumelelo ekusunguleni nasekuthengiseni inkampani entsha yehadiwe. UBenzion uthi ungusomabhizinisi kakhulu kunonjiniyela, futhi wayazi nje ukuthi angabuza kanjani imibuzo efanele futhi athole usizo kubo bonke ochwepheshe abadingekayo lapho edala i-gizmo yakhe yokuphatha amandla eselula. Kunoma ikuphi, leyo nkampani yathola igama layo kuma-patents amathathu futhi yaholela emizamweni eminingi endaweni ye-HW.
UChrissy Meyer
UChrissy Meyer wenze esinye isongo esiphindwe kabili njengonjiniyela kagesi onolwazi kanye nomlingani eRoot Ventures . Ngamazwi akhe, iRoot Ventures ithanda ukuxhasa izinkampani ezisafufusa ezisaqala ukuxazulula izinkinga ezinzima kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe . (Kungani kunjalo? Ingabe ziyazithanda izinkinga zekhanda? Ngoba yileyo ndlela esithola ngayo izinkinga zekhanda.) Nokho, lapho indawo yezintaba ilukhuni, iSherpa ibukhali. UMeyer wayenolwazi oluhle ngezinkampani zephothifoliyo zeRoot ezingaphezu kwesigamu ezihilela ihadiwe ngandlela thile.
Renuka Ayer
U-Renuka Ayer, i-CFO ye-Glowforge, indlovukazi yokuphatha imali, uhlanganise ulwazi lwephaneli. Ngaphambi kwe-Glowforge, usize ukugcina izinkampani zenza ihardware enkulu kakhulu (isb. ezezimoto kanye ne-aerospace) zisebenza kahle ngokwezimali. Ukuba nesizinda kwezezimoto ngokwami, ngiyazi ukuthi lokho kungaba nzima kangakanani. Amawijethi amakhulu angabandakanya amaphutha amakhulu ezezimali uma unganakile (noma ngabe ukhona). E-Glowforge, walola amakhono akhe emsebenzini onzima wokugcina inkampani esafufusa yehardware isebenza.
Amanye Amathiphu Avela Kwabangcono
U-Adam Benzion (uHackster):
- Iya kumicimbi yohlobo lwe-HW MeetUp (njengalona kanye leli phaneli) ukuze uhlangabezane nalabo abanamakhono owadingayo. Izingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha zidinga iziyalo eziningi ukudizayina isistimu kune-SW dev eyenza. Ngeke futhi uthole wonke amasethi amakhono e-HW owadingayo kubantu abambalwa kuphela - uzodinga ochwepheshe abambalwa. Ngakho-ke, ngena kunethiwekhi! Waphumelela kanjalo uBenzion.
- Ukuze uthole imibuzo ethile, finyelela ezingosini ze-inthanethi. Uma uku-Hackster.io, ezikhathini eziningi, ungathola iphrojekthi eyisibonelo ebandakanya into ozama ukuyithola. Xhumana nomuntu othumele futhi ubuze ukuthi bakwenze kanjani! Ungase ube nenhlanhla kwamanye amapulatifomu, futhi, njengawo I-Stack Ukuchichima, Reddit, I-Github, Njll
U-Heather Brundage (Synapse):
- Thola impendulo evela konjiniyela abaqonda izidingo zedizayini yevolumu ephezulu kusenesikhathi. Bese ulindela cabanga kabusha wonke umklamo wakho ngokusekelwe kulokho abakutshela khona. Ungabuzi ukuthi ukala kanjani idizayini yesiphanyeko sentambo ye-3D, ephrintiwe, ethayiphu,,, babuze ukuthi kanjani they ungakha igajethi yakho. I-prototype yakho icatshangwa kangcono njengendlela yokuchaza umqondo wakho kochwepheshe abangayakha kangcono.
- Futhi iseluleko 1a.) qiniseka ngalokho ongakwazi. Thola usizo lwezindawo ezingaboni emehlweni.
- Ungathengi ozakwethu besevisi njengoba uthenge izingxenye zobufakazi bakho bomqondo. I-Penny pinching kuhle kakhulu ukuqala ngayo, kodwa uma ucabanga ngezikali, ukonga ngamadola angaphambili kungase kukubize ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Bheka ozakwethu bonjiniyela nabadayisi aba a.) ukwazi izinto zabo, futhi b.) ingakuyisa kuvolumu ephezulu ngokushelelayo.
- Yakha ubudlelwano nabasabalalisi bakho nabathengisi. Uma ukuthengisa kwakho kungaqondile ngo-100% kukhasimende, hlala useduze nochungechunge lwakho lokusabalalisa ukuze wazi ukuthi wenza ngokwanele noma okuncane kakhulu.
- Xhumana nezinto eziza kuqala kuwe kubathengisi bakho ngokuya ngokuthi "Okuhle/Okusheshayo/okushibhile Khetha Noma yikuphi oku-2". Ukulindela konke oku-3 ngeke kukuyise ndawo, ngoba akwenzeki. Uma ungakucacisi okubalulekile kwakho, zizonqunywa ngawe.
Chrissy Meyer (Root Ventures):
- Xhumana ne-supply chain yakho kusenesikhathi. Ngisho noma ungakakulungeli ukugxumela ekukhiqizeni ngezinga elikhulu, hlola ukuhlanzeka nabahlinzeki bakho ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Thola impendulo yokuthi umqondo wakho ungenziwa kanjani kanye nemihlahlandlela ebanzi ngokushesha okukhulu.
- "Ungathathi idola lemali yebhizinisi uma ungadingeki." (Ima, ini?) Khumbula, ongxiwankulu abahwebi balindele ukuthi 1/2 izinkampani zabo zephothifoliyo zizohluleka. Ama-VC agqugquzelekile ukuthi aphushe izinkampani ukuthi zikhule ngokushesha, kodwa lokho akusekelwe kulokho okuthakaselayo kokuqalisa.
- Yakha imali yobudlelwano ne-supply chain. Lapho uboshiwe futhi udinga umusa, ufuna umphakeli wakho abambe ifoni. Imali yobudlelwano ivamise ukunganakwa ngoba iyinto engaphatheki, kodwa ingenza noma iphule ukuqalisa kwakho.
- Okuhlangenwe nakho kubalulekile ekuqaliseni kwe-HW kuyilapho kungabalulekile kakhulu ekuqaliseni kwe-SW. I-Root Ventures inesisho esithi, “izinkampani zethu zephothifoliyo zinama-CEO amaningi angamaPhD kune-MBA”. Babheka ubuchwepheshe obujulile bezobuchwepheshe kubasunguli ababanikeza imali. Ukuqala ngabasunguli abathumele ngempumelelo umkhiqizo womzimba ngaphambili nakho kuyathandwa.
Renuka Ayer, Glowforge
- Thola ukuthi yimalini oyifunayo futhi oyidingayo ngokwezezimali - ngokomuntu siqu nangokomsebenzi.
- Uma uqoqa imali yokuqalisa i-HW yakho, umzila onesibopho sezimali oya phambili uwukuthola enye imali yezindleko zansuku zonke. Yilokho uGlowforge akwenza. Babehlose okwabo I-Kickstarter imali yokuya ngqo kumkhiqizo kusukela ekuqaleni.
- Thola ozakwethu abathembekile bobunjiniyela nokukhiqiza, noma kubiza ngaphezulu. Izindleko zezimpahla ezithengisiwe zingase ziqale cishe ku-100% wemali engenayo, kodwa bese usebenzela ukuyehlisela ku-30-40% njengoba uhamba.
Yiziphi Izitayela Ezizibonayo?
U-Heather Brundage (Synapse):
Izixhumanisi zomsebenzisi wezwi azishumeki nje ku-hardware eyengeziwe, kodwa abathengi sebeqala ukuyilindela.
Chrissy Meyer (Root Ventures):
Kwenyuke kakhulu izinga lobuchwepheshe be-sensor ngayo yonke imali elahlwe ekuthuthukisweni kwezimoto ezizimele. I-Root Ventures ibona lobu buchwepheshe bungena kwezinye izimboni ezifana nezokukhiqiza nezokuthutha.
U-Adam Benzion (uHackster):
- Ukufunda ngomshini kanye ne-AI kuqhuma kuzo zonke izinhlobo zobuchwepheshe, ikakhulukazi ku-Hackster.
- Izinkampani ezithakazelisayo zivela zisebenzisa i-blockchain hhayi enkundleni ye-cryptocurrency. Lokhu kufaka phakathi imikhiqizo ye-HW ne-SW yokwenza izinto ezifana: nokuphathwa kwempahla kusetshenziswa izinkontileka ezihlakaniphile nokudala i-inthanethi evikeleke kakhudlwana nengenabhuti.
Manje Hamba Inethiwekhi!
Ngethemba ukuthi abaholi bephaneli bakugcizelele ukubaluleka kokuxhumana nabanye onjiniyela behadiwe. Ngithemba futhi ukuthi sizobona eminye imicimbi ithunyelwa ekhasini le-Dragon Innovation's Eventbrite maduze nje!
