About this Hub

Real things, made well, sold for what they are worth.

Hardware startups, electronics manufacturing, IoT product businesses, and the operational complexities of running a physical-product technology company in Australia. Hardware is harder than software and the people who do it well are rare. This Hub is for Members building, manufacturing, and selling hardware — from prototype to scaled production.

Start with a Pillar

Three starting Pillars. Pick the one closest to your situation.

Each Pillar is a structured pass through one part of running this kind of business. Five questions, five dimensions, a clear read on where you stand. Take the Pillar; your Facilitator routes the result to the right specialist.

Pillars · placeholder build

Three starting Pillars. Coming soon to the full standard.

Each Hub starts with three Pillars covering the most common entry points. The Software & SaaS Hub has its starting Pillars built to placeholder standard — see that Hub for the pattern. The Pillars below will be built to the same standard in subsequent passes.

The Twelve Spokes

Twelve specialty zones inside this Hub.

Each Spoke routes Members to a specialist Service Provider once a Pillar surfaces what they need. Spokes are the destinations the Pillars route into — full Spoke pages come online once Pillars are operating at the full standard.
