    Introducing: It's only a Prototype Podcast

    Phil Staunton, founder of product design consultancy D2M, and co-host Tom Constable introduce the 'It's Only a Prototype' podcast, which explores the messy realities of launching physical products. Staunton draws on 15 years of experience and his own failed product launch to highlight the high failure rate of hardware ventures, noting that even top investors see only one in ten successes. The hosts outline key upcoming topics, including re-shoring manufacturing from China, handling intellectual property issues, and dealing with cheap imitations.

    S1 E2: Mastering the Art of Modern Hardware Development and Innovation with Tyler Mincey

    Tyler Mincey, General Partner at Baukunst and former core team member for the first iPhone at Apple, discusses program management strategies for ambiguous hardware projects. He contrasts Apple's demo-driven, high-fidelity prototyping culture with the need for capital-efficient validation in early-stage startups. Mincey also highlights the rise of AI in hardware development, from generative design to manufacturing optimization, and praises Five Flute for addressing the specific program management needs of hardware engineers.

    IDology #11 - Most common mistakes in product development

    Rafał Piłat, co-founder of the industrial design studio Mindsailors, discusses common mistakes companies make during product development, emphasizing that 'hardware is hard' and requires realistic planning. He highlights errors such as skipping market research, over-engineering the first version (the 'curse of 2.0'), and underestimating the time and budget needed for prototyping and certification. Piłat also warns against assuming visual concepts are production-ready and stresses the importance of having a single decision-maker to avoid communication breakdowns.

    186: Sleeping on the Factory Floor

    Indrek Rebane, CTO of Build It Hardware Accelerator and engineer at Hedgehog Engineering, discusses the realities of building physical products, from garage prototypes to mass production. He explains why Arduino-based prototypes often fail in manufacturing due to cost, reliability, and component availability issues, and emphasizes the importance of user testing and finding product-market fit before scaling. Rebane also shares insights on the Estonian tech ecosystem, the Garage48 Hardware & Arts hackathon, and the critical need for founders to avoid 'stupid money' and focus on making what customers actually want.
