Attention #Startups We’re running a live webinar on Simulation next Tuesday, February 27th, catered specifically towards hardware startups WHAT: Live Webinar for Startups: Increase Product Success with Simulation WHEN: Tuesday, February 27th | 11am EST WHERE: https://lnkd.in/e7GCdJET WHY: Learn how hardware startups can improve their chances of success and avoid the most common reasons why startups fail. From supporting efforts to get more funding, to accelerating the time needed to evaluate multiple design ideas, to catching problems and supporting optimization, there are many ways simulation can be a valuable asset for a startup. In this webinar, you will learn why to simulate in the first place; how advanced cloud-based simulation can decrease product development time and help you design and develop more innovative products; and what simulation solutions are available to qualifying startups as part of the SOLIDWORKS for Startups program. WHO: Hardware Startups  Abhishek Bali Jillian Friot Shaun O'Neil Deanna Kocher Beverly Mack Jack Duffy-Protentis Gwendy Zeya Ann Marie Rucker, M.A.

How can hardware startups improve their chances of success and avoid the most common reasons why startups fail? One of the answers is simulation. From supporting efforts to get more funding, to accelerating the time needed to evaluate multiple design ideas, to catching problems and supporting optimization, there are many ways simulation can be a valuable asset for a startup. Join us on May 29th at 2PM EST for the second webinar in our webinar series for hardware startups. In this live webinar, we will continue our tour of the advanced simulation solutions available as part of the SOLIDWORKS for Startups program, and take a deeper dive into structural and fluid simulation domains. https://lnkd.in/eqktuBQa

🚀 How to Spot Breakthrough Ai Startup Ideas! 🚀 I just finished listening to this incredible interview with Mike Maples, Jr., and his insights are invaluable for anyone working with AI, not just startups. I would argue the startup mindset is crucial in this evolving field. Here’s are a few of my biggest takeaways: 1. Spot Big Changes: 🔍 Identify major market shifts. 2. Unique Insights: 💡 Understand how these changes reshape industries. 3. Align Vision: 🎯 Ensure your vision matches the future you want to create. 4. Think Differently: 🤔 Challenge norms and think outside the box. 5. Tell a Compelling Story: 📖 Share your vision effectively. 6. Encourage Dissent: 🗣️ Value constructive disagreement. 7. Engage Early Adopters: 🏃♂️ Find customers with urgent needs. https://lnkd.in/esJQs-6h #AI #Startups #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #FutureTrends

Over the 4th of July holiday, I pondered Machiineit’s mission. Startups (and their founders) often toss around words like “disrupt,” “reinvent,” “transform,” and “revolutionize” when describing their product or business. While these words may be fundamentally accurate for a small minority, I suspect they are mostly just part of the Silicon Valley jargon and are used more as a signal for being part of the “in crowd.” Maybe this sort of signaling is required to “play the game” and adhere to the startup playbook, but I come from a world where “showing” is better than “telling” and the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid) principle is king. In this context, by putting your head down and doing the work, "disruption" and "reinvention" will happen on their own. People will notice without needing to be told. But, in the interest of fully teasing this out, please let me know what you think of these 😎 - Revolutionizing access to CNC machining by leveraging innovative and disruptive next-gen technology, empowering creators and innovators everywhere. - Making CNC machining accessible to everyone. #CNC #Machining #Gcode #Venturecapital #Startup #Manufacturing #Reindustrialize

Simulation tools don't exist exclusively for Fortune 500 companies. In fact, cloud-based simulation solutions are making these tools more accessible for small companies and even start ups! With these powerful and cost-effective simulation tools, you can accelerate your product development, make your startup more appealing to investors, and meet customer demands faster.

Manufacturing Startups: How Are You Scaling Your Designs? 🏗️ Did you know that 82% of manufacturing startups cite speed-to-market as their biggest competitive advantage? Scaling from prototype to production remains a major hurdle—particularly when 60% of startups report bottlenecks in their design process. This is where CAD tools become crucial. Studies show that startups using optimized CAD workflows can reduce design iterations by 30% and cut production costs by 15-25%. The ability to rapidly adjust and perfect designs is not just a luxury, it’s a necessity in a fast-paced market. 🔍 What tools or strategies have helped your team take designs from concept to production efficiently? #ManufacturingStartups #CAD #ScaleUp #ProductDesign #StartupGrowth #CADTools #IndustrialDesign #ManufacturingTech
