Hardware in a Hurry: Designing, Developing and Deploying on Dime

Hello All!

WHIPgroup hopes that you and your family are healthy and well.

Given the anticipated length of Connecticut’s work-from-home order, we’re taking the Tech Entrepreneur Meetup virtual! The time and date are the same (6PM on the third Tuesday of the month – April 21st), and the topic is below. However, some of the logistics will be a little different.

The Meetup will take place on Zoom. Only those who register for the event on Meetup will receive the Zoom link, which will be sent directly to registrants approximately an hour before the event via Meetup messaging. If you have guests that would like to attend, please direct them to create a Meetup account and register for the event. If for some reason that is not possible, or they are having trouble doing so, please feel free to message me their email address directly and I will work to send them the link.

That’s it for logistics! We hope we can continue to meet together during these challenging times. We cannot let a pandemic cannot stop technological innovation!

The topic this month is “Hardware in a Hurry: Designing, Developing and Deploying on Dime.”

With advances in technology, it's easier than ever before to get new hardware products to market quickly on a shoestring budget.

Beginning at 6:00PM at the April 21st WHIPgroup Tech Entrepreneur Meetup, serial entrepreneur and product engineer Nick Johnson will explain how to:
• Speed product development using on-demand electronics manufacturing, cheap wireless modules, open-source firmware and 3-D printing
• Attract early adopters who are willing to spend money on products that may not be final, yet fulfill a need
• Ship multiple products and earn revenue while iterating your products and building a loyal, trusting audience
• Scale-up using vertical manufacturing without having to raise capital

Nick has held executive positions in several tech startups and as founder of Proto Ventures, has helped bring tech products to market for over 20 companies. The last few months he's held the role of CTO at Intake, a company that aims to put lab-quality health measurements in every home.

We hope you can join us at 6PM on April 21st on Zoom! Again, you must register for the event on Meetup to receive the Zoom link! We look forward to seeing you all virtually!
