About us
We’re a community of hardware founders, investors, engineers, designers, and product people working on physical products—from prototypes to production.
Expect meetups focused on making progress: sharing what you’re building, solving problems together, meeting collaborators, and learning from people who’ve actually done it.
What we do:
Builder meetups + casual hangs
Show-and-tell demos (bring your prototype)
Founder + expert talks (DFM, sourcing, manufacturing, fundraising)
Workshops and “work nights” to keep momentum going
If you’re designing, engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, or launching hardware in the Bay Area, this is your crew. Come hustle with us.

Hardware Founders Assemble- East Coast /West Coast / EU Online Tech Mixer
·OnlineOnlineHardware Founders Mixer (Global | Monthly)
Building hardware is hard. Doing it alone is harder.
This is a monthly, no-fluff gathering for hardware founders across SF, NYC, London — and beyond — to connect in real time.
This is for founders who are building their own hardware business - Physical product business.
No panels. No pitches. Just people in the trenches.
Whether you’re:- shipping your first units
- scaling manufacturing
- raising, stuck, or figuring out what’s next
you’ll be in a room with others who get it.
We keep it informal on purpose. Cameras on (if you can), honest conversations, and space to talk about the parts no one posts about — delays, cash pressure, supplier chaos, tough calls.
This isn’t “networking” in the usual sense.
It’s about building a support system you’ll actually use.
What to expect:- Quick intros (who you are, where you’re at)
- Breakouts with other founders at a similar stage
- Open conversation — bring what’s on your mind
Over time, this becomes a room you recognise — the same people showing up, helping each other move forward.
If you're building in hardware, you should be in this room.
Grab a coffee. Join from wherever you are.
