Ask HN: My clients are hardware startups. How do I find them?

1 points by TooSmugToFail ↗ HN
I run a hardware development lab based in an Eastern European EU member country.

We're a team of 10 engineers, and we offer full-stack engineering service to our clients (electronics, mechanical engineering, optics, prototyping). We can do mid-volume manfacturing runs, so the clients get a 'Made in EU' marked product when they do it through us.

We're well placed in our regional market, and we did some interesting international projects, but I want to reach out to western clients.

I'd greatly appreciate any ideas on how to reach hardware startups and digital agencies that would benefit from our services.

I think putting your info in your profile would be a great first step. I'm interested, but have no way of contacting you!

In general, do sponsored blog posts on hardware sites - hackaday is a great first one. See if you can get adafruit, or tindie as well.

That's interesting. I had the same idea at the outset.

We've sort of started working that angle recently with talks, workshops, and 1-on-1's. Having seen a wide range of different hardware projects means there's lots of valuable experience we're able to share this way.

Thanks for your input!
