After much deliberation, we're finally ready to announce Boston's first Hardware Startup Meetup!



It's all about the teams, so each month we'll have 3-4 hardware startups present. They'll have time to pitch, ask questions, advertise, recruit, troubleshoot and/or hopefully demo.



Sponsor



Because we all love food and drinks, we'll also have one sponsor each month that will generously pick up the tab. Boston's very own community-CAD startup GrabCAD (http://bit.ly/WAuWRX) will be sponsoring the first meetup and CEO Hardi Meybaum will talk about the future of mechanical CAD.



Format



I'm going to suggest the following general format:



7.00P: Arrival, food, drinks



7.30P: Main presentation (sponsor/founder war stories/whatever you guys want)



8.00P: Startup #1: Force Field Labs



8.15P: Startup #2: Rest Devices



8.30P: Startup #3: Keystone Tower Systems



8.45P: Technical Q&A/demos



9.00P: Networking



Call for Startups



In that light, we're always looking for startups/hardware teams to tell their story! If you're interested in presenting at future meetups, feel free to shoot me an email directly at [masked] with a brief description of what you do.



Looking forward to meeting you all!
