Product development
Why hardware startups stall at prototype
The prototype isn't the hard part. Everything after it is.
Insights
Kyros Engineering Insights are articles by Peter Sords, founder and Director of Engineering at Kyros Engineering in Cleveland, Ohio, on the engineering decisions that decide whether a hardware product ships: power architecture, the firmware that runs before the application, and the gap between a working prototype and a manufacturable product. They are written for founders, CTOs and engineering leads.
Each article takes one decision that is cheap to get right early and expensive to unwind later, and explains what to check while it is still cheap.
Product development
The prototype isn't the hard part. Everything after it is.
Embedded firmware
The code that runs before your application is the code that matters most.
Power and electrical design
Your power tree decides your product's performance, cost and timeline.
Kyros starts with a two-week Architecture & Roadmap Study, $5,000 fixed. It ends in a written decision artifact you keep whether or not you continue.
