Three ESSENTIAL steps to go from Idea to manufacturing without KILLING your company
A Talk by Tomas Alarcon M.Sc. (Founder, Shenzhen LTR Technology Ltd.)
About this Talk
Got a brilliant hardware idea but fear the never-ending prototype spiral? In this fast-paced, no-fluff workshop you’ll learn a proven, three-step playbook for turning a concept into a factory-ready product (HW + FW + SW) while keeping burn rate and team morale in check.
What you’ll discover
- Focus or Fold – A practical framework for carving out the true hardware-feature minimum—and leaving the nice-to-haves for software updates or V2 devices.
- Agile NPI for Physical Things – How to run hardware, firmware, and software sprints in parallel, freeze the right layers at the right time, and avoid the “infinite loop” of last-minute changes.
- Survive the Ramp – Tactics to schedule, and de-risk your first build (EVT → DVT → PVT) without blowing the company’s runway—or your sanity.
Why attend
- Concrete strategies and tools you can use the next day
- Real-world war stories from satellites to smart-appliance launches
- Live Q&A on your toughest product-roadmap dilemmas
Who should join
Startup founders, makers, entrepreneurs, product managers, and engineering leads aiming to ship their first—or next—hardware-enabled MVP on time and on budget.
Leave with a clear vision how to approach building just enough hardware, ship faster through smart firmware/software iterations, and scale confidently—all without crashing your company.
