After much deliberation, we're finally ready to announce Boston's first Hardware Startup Meetup!

It's all about the teams, so each month we'll have 3-4 hardware startups present. They'll have time to pitch, ask questions, advertise, recruit, troubleshoot and/or hopefully demo.

Sponsor

Because we all love food and drinks, we'll also have one sponsor each month that will generously pick up the tab. Boston's very own community-CAD startup GrabCAD will be sponsoring the first meetup and CEO Hardi Meybaum will talk about the future of mechanical CAD.

Format

I'm going to suggest the following general format:

7.00P: Arrival, snacks, drinks

7.30P: Main presentation (sponsor/founder war stories/whatever you guys want)

8.00P: Startup pitch 1

8.15P: Startup pitch 2

8.30P: Startup pitch 3

8.45P: Technical Q&A/demos

9.00P: Networking

Call for Startups

In that light, we're looking for our first batch of startups/hardware teams! We have a few in the queue and I'll pick some for the first meetup. Feel free to shoot me an email directly at [masked] with a brief description of what you do.

Looking forward to meeting you all!
