Your first hardware hire might be setting you up to fail.
Most startups don’t stall on tech—they stall because the team is built to perfect the demo, not survive reality.

Prototype works. Pitch lands. Then: costs spike, suppliers misalign, heat shows up, certification drags, runway leaks.
That’s the Prototype Trap—stuck between proof and production.
