Lecture 17 - How to Design Hardware Products (Hosain Rahman)

[@whynesspower]

Then three years later Jawbone filed for bankruptcy

[@MicahSays]

Now undergoing liquidation.

[@divyamarkande35]

Loved it . I’d wanna re-watch it though, just to take notes 📝 😅❤

[@hasratsabit7116]

Can someone help me what presentation format Hosain is using? Is it PowerPoint or something else? He is killing it on how he put his slides together.

[@BeverlyHillsXak]

ok great. how do you do that without all those teams where it is just you?

[@sbIvanov]

You do it by yourself :)

[@mariamsargsyan2981]

The whole point is to help people to a better life with technology. Think about, “where is the world going?” Have organizing principles. Thinking needs to shift from being about actual things to the user. You need to be great at the full stack. The exploration phase if very wild. Don’t do one off things. You have to see a broader vision. Look at where do we think the world is moving and think about how this is going to be a stepping stone to that ultimate end vision. All of your content and media experiences are now in your phone. Media is still the killer app in your house.Constraints are really great because they serve as opportunities to resolve, to refine, to simplify, and push you to find the right answer that will solve the user problem in the simplest way. At a big company you have to force a lot of communications. We can dream a lot faster than what is possible. Web software is a lot different than mobile software. Building mobile software is more like building hardware.

I really dream of being a hardware startup founder. However I wanna know these stuff: 1- How to protect my company from ever being taken away from me via takeover or a lot of investments? I really don't want to do a hard work then someone just buys it. 2- How to raise funding, taking #1 question into consideration? 3- How to hire and who to hire? 4- How about software to use? like Altium designer, solidworks... these are pricy. thanks

[@jatingrover2188]

have you built a prototype?

[@hossammoghrabi1021]

no

[@sbIvanov]

I'm trying to develop a device that would make it easier to floss your teeth. I am pretty sure we can all agree, the current state of flossing sucks! Don't worry I am here to solve the problem. :)

[@MegzusTechnology]

My dentist told me about a device which they said was about $150+ that is supposed to be great for flossing.. Seems now ( a year later) one retailer is selling this device for a bit less. I think it's this www.johnlewis.com/philips-sonicare-hx8211-02-electric-airfloss-system/p615140?sku=232298327&kpid=232298327&s_kenid=68b74216-40c3-5388-1bd1-00005ff1f542&s_kwcid=402x34077&tmad=c&tmcampid=73&kpid=232298327

[@TechUpbeat]

Pretty straight forward lecture. Thanks Hosain :)

[@juanguillermogonzalez2764]

This is Great, I wished he had more time, this could´ve been easily a 3-hour lecture.

[@whynesspower]

Think thrice before you start a hardware company outside China. You can't out-do them and they will be your chief competitors. Doesn't matter how much you innovate, they are very good copy cats, even much better than Kakashi Hatake.

[@jonathangilat208]

Could you please upload Hosain's slide to Slideshare?

[@AdeelKhan1]

Did you manage to find a link to the slides?

[@mugnoom]

I guess Printscreening 720p version is our only option.

[@edwineviutama2657]

Hi Hosan,nice presentation. Pretty cool. Regards, from Indonesia

[@zaccomusic]

good video hope you keep update :)

[@sheikhmuhammedtadeeb5677]

Lets see who are up

[@hiandrewfisher]

Jawbone is out of business now.

[@notsure1016]

WOW my BS meter just exploded 15 minutes into it. If you are a student at Stanford, I strongly recommend asking for your money back.

[@alwayzsmarter]

ya he sounds like a bs'er with no real credibility but I'm only listening as background noise going through the series so could be wrong

[@GordonGekk0]

This is gold.

[@ulamss5]

Weakest in the series so far. Seemed to be thinly veiled attempt to hype up his startup with meaningless buzzwords.

[@chuganator]

Still don't know why Jawbone Up doesn't show time.

[@jeffbrownstain]

This is the R&D team I want to work for 🤔

[@hiandrewfisher]

Unfortunately, the company closed down
