Since its inception in November last year, Taiwan based HWTrek started out as a cross between a crowd-funding and a manufacturing advisory platform for hardware companies. But now, HWTrek is putting more attention on the manufacturing advisory side and has newly created a platform called the HWTrek Project Development Hub.
Many fresh hardware entrepreneurs have brilliant ideas. But making those ideas a real product is where most fail. To solve this problem, the Hub guides inventors through a very thorough step-by-step process from idea to design to development and finally production, all the while keeping them on track with a solid project management tool. It also offers a comprehensive database of vetted manufacturers and suppliers. This is astute timing, given the explosion of hardware startups around the world.
