Description

✍️ Show Notes:
While working from home during COVID, Greg Klein wanted to sit on the floor. But he couldn't find a desk that actually allowed for that. So, he scratched his own itch and brought to life the world's first electric floor-sitting to standing desk. Listen to Greg's entrepreneurship journey as well as his advice for those looking to build and sell their own hardware products.

🔑 Bytes:



  • Get validation as early as you can by talking to everyone around you. Don't hide your product idea behind polished design and marketing - get true validation!

  • It's lonely being a founder, and even more so in consumer hardware, so if you don't have a co-founder, find mentors and other founders in a similar space - most are happy to give advice!

  • Unforseen costs are always going to come up, especially in hardware dev, so give yourself some buffer.
