What this episode covers

Carrie Sundra, founder of Alpenglow Industries, discusses her transition from dyeing yarn to building 'frivolous circuits' and tools for makers. She details the design and crowdfunding of the SkeinMinder and SkeinTwister, explaining how she bypassed Kickstarter for the latter by using her own website and the now-defunct Celery payment processor. Sundra also covers the engineering challenges of her FUnicorn board, the PS-I Hate You soldering kit, and her live-streaming efforts to promote representation for women in hardware.

    Kickstarter, IndieGoGo & Ignite - Jasperated Jimswinger Jobbery

    Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss the challenges of crowdfunding physical products, using the failed MuOptics thermal camera campaign as a primary example of 'shonky' hardware that lacked a working prototype. They analyze the economics of ultra-low-cost consumer electronics, such as a $12 cell phone, to illustrate the disparity between industrial and consumer hardware markets. The episode also covers the launch of the BeagleBone Black, the hosts' own t-shirt crowdfunding campaign, and a review of listener-submitted workbenches.

    An Interview with Josh Lifton

    Chris Gammell, co-founder of CrowdSupply, explains how the platform differentiates itself from Kickstarter by vetting creators and handling fulfillment to ensure 100% delivery rates. He details the company's founding story, which was inspired by early crowdfunding failures, and discusses their logistics, pricing strategies, and post-campaign supply chain management. Gammell also introduces his side project, the Stenosaurus, an open-source stenography keyboard designed to make professional transcription more accessible.

    Girl Power

    Hosts Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss the rise of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and the challenges of sourcing electronic components, including counterfeit parts and supply shortages. They critique a new reality show called 'Nerd Girls' for focusing on the appearance of female engineers rather than their technical work, and debate the economics of solar energy incentives in Australia. The conversation also covers the transition from linear power supplies to switchers, the viability of home-made chip fabrication, and the disparity in compensation between engineers and sales teams.

    Minted: Mariam Naficy

    Mariam Naficy, founder of Minted, explains how she pivoted her stationery platform from selling established brands to a 100% crowdsourced model after an initial launch failure. She details the early struggles of Eve.com, including VC collusion and a successful exit before the dot-com crash, and how Minted’s early sales silence forced a strategic shift toward design competitions. Naficy also describes overcoming a hostile acquisition attempt by a competitor who bought Minted’s printer, relying on rapid supply chain pivoting to maintain independence. The episode highlights Minted’s evolution into a profitable, cash-flow-positive business that empowers emerging artists.

    #058 - Freedom to work and play anywhere without losing power, with Nancy de Fays of Linedock, USA

    Nancy de Fays, co-founder of Linedock, explains how her two-person team launched a high-power USB-C docking station via Indiegogo, raising approximately $450,000 with near-zero marketing budget. She details the technical challenge of hacking the USB Power Delivery protocol to output 100 watts for laptops, differentiating Linedock from standard power banks. De Fays highlights the '90% done' fallacy in hardware, where component sourcing lead times of 40-45 weeks and complex certifications for batteries and radios caused significant delays despite a working prototype. The episode covers their strategic choice of Indiegogo over Kickstarter, the importance of early community engagement for feedback, and the cultural nuances of managing manufacturing relationships in China.
