GABA Presents: The Rise of the Hardware Startup

August 15, 2013 | 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Wilmer Hale Palo Alto 950 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA


Traditionally, hardware development has been the realm of corporations with global operations and scale. But as we are in the middle of an important new technology cycle that Mary Meeker (KPCB) has identified as Wearable/Everywhere Computing, the number of hardware-focused startups is growing rapidly.

Topics to be discussed:

- Is this the beginning of an irreversible trend, i.e. will startups drive the innovations in hardware, just as they have succeeded in dominating software?
- What are the key developments that have made building consumer hardware devices so much easier in recent years?
- What are the remaining challenges?
- Do global corporations still have the advantage in building well-designed yet affordable consumer devices?
- Or do future trends favor the fast-moving startups that can deliver innovations more rapidly?
- For investors, hardware startups have always been a risky proposition, given the operational and cash-flow challenges related to manufacturing and forecasting inventory. Are the recent successes in consumer hardware innovations changing that mind-set?
- Does a startup’s rapid innovation mindset mean that there may be a role for the re-emergence of local manufacturing?
- What are the best practices and lessons learned for would-be hardware entrepreneurs – and where do they start?

GABA has assembled a panel of experts with backgrounds ranging from startup to corporate, and from manufacturing to investing to answer these questions and more.

Cost: $25 members, $34 GABA Partners (Promotion Code Churchill Club members: GABA12)
