How I'm Building a Hardware Startup From Scratch: It Starts With a Muscle Sensor|Startup Series Ep 1

Описание: I'm Indira, and I'm building a new hardware company entirely on my own. But I'm not just building one product; I'm building a "hardware company in a box".

In this first video, I'm sharing my entire strategy. You'll learn about my first product, a consumer-grade muscle activity sensor, and why the sensor itself isn't the most important part of this journey. My real goal is to build a reusable, modular launchpad of technology, sales, and manufacturing "blocks" that will make launching the next hardware product ten times easier.

Whether you're interested in monitoring your own muscle activity, an investor looking for the next big hardware opportunity, or an aspiring builder ready to turn your ideas into reality – this series is for you.

What You'll Learn:
The lean “hardware company in a box" concept that makes launching hardware products faster, cheaper, and less risky
Why most hardware startups fail (and how to avoid it)
The building blocks of hardware startups: technology, sales, and manufacturing
The tough reality of hardware decision-making (where most choices are one-way doors)
Behind-the-scenes look at finding manufacturers and building relationships


What's Coming Next: This is Episode 1 of my 5-part startup launch series where I'll share everything – the wins, the failures, the late-night debugging sessions, and the breakthrough moments.
