■: Overview

It depends on the team whether to utilize or kill strong core technology

Technology is an important strength in a fast-growing startup. On the other hand, it is also important that the team has the "engineering ability" to incorporate high technical capabilities into the product.

Various professional engineering resources are required to overcome the challenges unique to hardware, such as the challenges that are said to be the “wall of mass production”.

These situations are sometimes called "Hardware is Hard" as a difficulty unique to hardware startups, but there are also startups where the founder who does not have a background as an engineer forms a team, develops, manufactures and scales. Exists.
 

Let's think about the points of team building to accelerate the technology

・ How do you collect members?

・ How do you proceed with product development and overcome the barriers to mass production?

・ How do you communicate with engineers who are professionals on the road?

・ How do you create a team that can overcome hardships?

Regarding the above hurdles, we will invite Mr. Miyasaka, CEO of BONX, who not only sells original devices but also develops group communication services combined with smartphone apps, as a guest and think from the perspective of a non-engineer CEO. Of course, we will provide useful information not only for engineers but also for startups who want to challenge in the hardware field.

In the latter half of the meeting, we would like to set up a time to interact with guests and HAX Tokyo members so that they can communicate directly with each other. If you are interested or would like to hear from us, please feel free to join us.
