FAQ
HOW TO GET INTO THE PROGRAM? WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?
Our goal is to gather teams working on something that really matters, aiming to solve human or corporate problems around the world. Those that affect our daily lives throughout the technological and design perspective.
There are a few hints how to make the application more forceful:
a) show a working prototype of your product;
b) prove the team’s knowledge and expertise in technology, business and marketing;
c) demonstrate early traction;
The startups with the higher conversion rates in the Product Validation Period have more chances to get into the Product Acceleration Stage after the Demo Day.
WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESSES ARE MOSTLY IN YOUR FIELD OF VIEW?
- Consumer technology products in all fields (IoT, smart home, robotics, gadgets, sound, wearables, appliances, camera equipment, 3D printing, DIY electronics etc)
- Design products without electronics (household and travel goods, techwear, and many other)
- Other products suitable for the crowdfunding go-to-market strategy
HOW CAN I KNOW THE MENTORS AVAILABILITY?
Mentors will be available during the sessions which are online webinars. Accelerated startups will have an access to Q&A; in the end of each event, so we make sure there is always an assistance you may rely on. All webinars will be announced in advance.
WHAT ABOUT DEMO DAY?
Startups from the Validation Period will be invited to pitch their products to the main sponsors and trusted investors in order to get funding and jump into the Acceleration Stage.
WOULD YOU TAKE EQUITY OF MY STARTUP? ANY OTHER FEES?
Each startup that passed the validation test gets a 20,000 USD for the product launch in exchange of 10% equity and 10% fee from the money raised via crowdfunding.
HOW CAN I USE THE PROVIDED FUNDING?
- Legal services. US Company registration with an approved equity distribution + travel expenses;
- Engineering services. Product design and hardware prototyping, which includes the POC/MVP development.
- Content Creation. The team of professionals will be provided for the photo/video creation.
- Crowdfunding Launch. Business strategy, design, pre-launch campaign, PR campaign, and other growth hacks are included.
- Ads budget. At least 2,000 USD will be provided for the crowdfunding marketing activities.

How we build
From ideation to manufacturing
Product Design
Each step in the design phase (customer development, wireframes, and looks-like prototypes) is designed to test assumptions of what a product will look like and how a customer will interact with it. We have been this with a whole lot of love for years, landing prestigious awards (Best of CES, etc).
We provide a turn-key solution in industrial design development:
- Ideation
- Concept selection
- Design research
- Sketching
- 3D modelling
- Prototyping
Mechanical design
Our aim to create a production-ready cost-efficient and reliable product.
A detailed Design for Manufacturing assessment of the 3D model, CAD files, or prototype, with an emphasis on the manufacturing process, materials, and assembly.
We provide a turn-key solution for mechanical design:
- Strength analysis
- Mechanism and Machine design (including kinematics and dynamics)
- DFX (DFM/DFA)
- Cost effective design
- Scalable design
- BOMs and assembly instructions
- Prototyping
Electrical engineering
Our electronics development services span the product development cycle: concept development; the system architecture and design; analysis and simulation; prototyping; performance verification and testing; and if requested, assistance with transition to manufacturing. Our areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, advanced analog circuitry, power electronics, and microcontrollers.
We provide a turnkey solution for electrical engineering:
- Ideation
- Proof of Concept (PoC)
- Schematic design
- PCB layout
- BOMs and assembly instructions
- Prototyping
Embedded Development
Modern products frequently require firmware.
We design our hardware and firmware together to produce the optimal solution.
We have a turn-key solution for embedded development:
- Ideation
- Proof of Concept
- Platform selection
- Firmware development
Prototyping
We can provide a one-stop source for helping you realize your projects from concept to prototyping and through to finished products. We combine great service with cost efficiency and quick turnarounds.
We have in-house prototyping services and we also have partners in China, this means we can tackle any project of any complexity within a realistic timeline.
Scaling up for Production
Approved professional by Dragon Innovation
Manufacturing
Hardware is hard. There are a lot of moving pieces and often unforeseen circumstance. We hunker down with our partners to streamline project plans that don’t just deliver on product perfection, but also deliver on time – absolutely crucial to success in a highly competitive consumer electronics market where every moment counts.
Post production support
After your first batch is done and out the door, it’s time to think about the future, the next step. We will stand by to start, control and make it “jacked and good to go’”. We’ll repeat, again and again.
