We Manufacture Your Hardware at Scale (USA, Mexico, & China) | Ecosystem, Pipeline & Partner Strategy

Founders always ask for the same thing:
“Do you know a partner who can do everything: Engineering, prototyping, low-volume builds, and mass production?”

I get why.
On paper, it sounds perfect:

🔹 One team that knows the product from Day 0
🔹 Smooth handoff into EVT/DVT/PVT
🔹 Manufacturing input baked into early design
🔹 Less friction, fewer vendors, more trust

Totally intuitive.

But here’s the reality almost nobody says out loud:
Those are four completely different skill sets, with different cultures, tempos, tools, and incentives.

And the partner who is world-class at mass production is ALMOST never world-class at rapid iteration.
Because the traits that make you strong at one phase often make you weak at the other.

Mass production excellence =
🔸 Rigid systems
🔸 Heavy validation
🔸 Process obsessed
🔸 Optimized for scale, yield, and stability

Early-stage excellence =
🔸 Fast
🔸 Messy
🔸 Creative
🔸 Comfortable with ambiguity and change

Trying to get one team to do both is like expecting awesome sushi at the italian restaurant. 
(They might try… but should they? 🤢)

Can it work?
Yes, but only under very specific conditions:

✔️ Clear, locked industrial design
✔️ Serious funding
✔️ No long pauses or fundraising gaps
✔️ A straight path from prototype to EVT → DVT → PVT
✔️ A product destined for mass production from Day 1

SEACOMP has done it.
But it takes alignment, timing, and a founder who understands what they are signing up for.

For most teams, the healthier model is a relay:
Expert design ➡️  expert prototyping ➡️  expert CM for scale.

Different people, same mission.

Not shaming anyone. The instinct makes total sense.
The physics of hardware are just harder than the theory.

Want to chat on this some more? Come hang with us at #CES.

Link in the comments.

Collecting quotes for ID, ME, EE, FW, or product development is a wild ride.

$40k from overseas.
$200k from the Midwest.
$700k+ from Boston or San Francisco.
Sometimes even a $300k and a $900k quote from the same city for the same scope.

At a certain point… the limit does not exist.

But here’s what most founders miss: you’re not just paying for hours or skill.
Hardware development is art, judgment, taste, and manufacturing philosophy baked into one.

So the real question isn’t:
“Why is one quote 10× another?”

The real question is:
What are you actually buying?

• Alignment with the partner who will build or design your product
• DFM baked in from Day 1 (not after three redesign loops)
• Whether incentives are to finish or to bill more hours
• Experience in your specific product category
• How many mistakes you will not have to pay for later

Quotes can go to infinity.
(Or sometimes to $0, which is equally dangerous lol.)

The cost of choosing the wrong partner is very real.

** For the practitioners who live this every day: what’s the widest spread you’ve seen, and what do you think actually drives those gaps?

Building 1 of something is hard.
Building 1,000,000 of that same thing is just as hard, but in a completely different way.

One requires creativity.
The other requires discipline, systems, and control.

This is where a lot of innovators get surprised.
They lock the design and think the hard part is over.

But in hardware, the real climb begins when you go from “this works once” to “this works every time.”

A lead came in today.
Source: “LinkedIn, Connor Bush.” (blush / hair flip)

But here’s the part I keep thinking about…

This wasn’t an overnight win.
And honestly, the “LinkedIn, Connor Bush” part was probably the least influential piece of the whole chain.

This one lead took YEARS to show up.

It took:
⭐ A teammate building trust with a customer years ago
⭐ Our engineers and ops absolutely crushing that program
⭐ A happy customer willing to do a case study
⭐ Our marketing manager turning that story into something real
⭐ Me spending four years building a network and posting consistently
⭐ Someone in my network engaging with a post this week
⭐ LinkedIn surfacing it to a stranger who needed what we do
⭐ And that stranger clicking through, reading the case study, and reaching out

It only looks like “a lead from LinkedIn.”
In reality, it was a long chain of small things done well by a lot of people.

There’s that old line: “It takes 20 years to become an overnight success.”
In hardware and sales, sometimes it just takes 20 steps.

Everything you do matters.
And eventually… it all stacks and hits at once.

Anyways 🤷‍♂️ , come hang with us at #CES (link in comments)

Top of funnel has been buzzing. Meetings, leads, energy everywhere.

But I caught myself doing the classic move — sprinting the first lap and forgetting there’s a whole race left to run.

Early momentum means nothing if you drop the baton on follow up and nurture.

So now I am slowing down just enough to time block, calendar, and stay consistent.

Not slowing the pace — just smoothing it out.

Slow is smooth.
Smooth is fast.
And apparently, calendars help too. 🙃

Cancelled my mini camping vacation scheduled for next week.

Not because of grind culture.
Because hardware has real deadlines.

Balance is not always a 50/50 split.

Push now.
Camping in January.
Still balanced.

Goals met <3.

If you want to ship hardware by Black Friday 2026…

Start yesterday.

Love,
Connor

Trying to enjoy the holidays
while also
trying to ship everything before the holidays
while also
trying to prep for CES
while also
trying to plan around CNY
while also
trying to be a human with a family.

It’s a vibe.

If you’re feeling the “festive chaos” today, I see you.
Happy Friday. 🤝

Thanksgiving (yeah, I know I’m late lol) and mass production have something in common:

99% isn’t good enough.

You can have:
- Every side dish perfect
- Table set
- Guests arriving
- Desserts ready to go

But if the turkey is two hours late?
Dinner is two hours late.

Hardware works the same way.

NPI is a chain of perfectly timed steps:
tooling ➡️ components ➡️ tests ➡️ assembly ➡️ packout

You can nail almost everything...
…but if one critical item slips, the entire schedule bends around it.

Great manufacturing isn’t about heroics.
It’s about orchestration.
Dependencies.
Timing.
Flow.

Thanksgiving looks effortless when everything hits the table at once (and when someone else is doing all of the prep lol).
So does mass production.

Neither is an accident.

Happy holidays! And if you're pushing a product toward 2026, now’s the time to start timing your “turkey.” 🦃⚙️

Lost my fantasy football matchup this week by 0.84 points.

And honestly… losing by less than 1 point feels worse than getting blown out by 40.

A blowout is clean. Clear. Obvious.
You shrug, you move on, you fix your roster.

But a tiny margin loss?
That sticks with you.
You replay every lineup choice.
“Should’ve swapped that flex…”
“Why didn’t I check injuries…”
It lingers because it was just close enough.

Hardware is the same.

A catastrophic failure forces you to stop.
Rebuild.
Fix the root cause.
Come back stronger.

But a small, non-catastrophic failure in the field?
A 1% return rate.
A flaky latch.
A charging bug that “only happens sometimes.”

That is the dangerous one.

Because it’s just tolerable enough to live with.
Just cheap enough to avoid solving.
Just annoying enough to hurt reputation and growth
but not painful enough to trigger full correction.

Small problems linger.
And lingering problems compound.

In fantasy football, it costs you a matchup.
In hardware, it can quietly cost you the whole season.

If you're leading teams building connected devices, this is the room you’ll want to be in at CES! 

Meet other CEOs, founders, VPs, and product executives for a thoughtful break from the show. This networking event is designed for high-level discussion, insight sharing, and strategic relationship building.

Relocating to Arizona has marked a new chapter in my mission to support and empower those affected by such devastating events.

In addition to my advocacy in these areas, I also specialize in the provision of quality leads and transfers in the insurance and nursing sectors. My goal is to facilitate meaningful connections that aid recovery and bring about positive change.

Enroll.com

In my pursuit of innovating within the educational sector, I successfully developed an extensive directory encompassing over 800 schools, specifically tailored to nursing education, ranging from Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs. This comprehensive resource was meticulously curated to provide valuable insights and information for prospective nursing students and educators alike.

This project was not just a directory; it was a bridge connecting aspiring nurses with the educational pathways that would shape their careers. The directory’s impact was significant in streamlining the process of selecting the right nursing program, thereby contributing positively to the healthcare education landscape.

In 2019, after years of nurturing and growing this resource into a well-respected and widely-used tool, I made the strategic decision to sell it. This sale marked a pivotal moment in my career, representing both the culmination of dedicated work and the start of new ventures in educational innovation.

LightStim

In a strategic move, I extended a $500,000 loan to LightStim, a frontrunner in red light therapy technology, to support their ambitious product expansion plans. This significant financial injection was aimed at accelerating the development and market introduction of their innovative light therapy solutions. LightStim, known for their pioneering work in the industry, was poised to make substantial advancements with this additional funding.

My investment was not just a monetary contribution; it was a strategic partnership. In exchange for the loan, I secured exclusive rights for the purchase of their cutting-edge products for the cokoanh market, a niche yet rapidly growing sector in wellness and beauty. This arrangement allowed me to capitalize on the increasing demand for high-quality, effective light therapy devices, positioning me as a key player in the distribution and growth of these products in this specific market.

Additionally, this loan was structured with an eye towards the future, as I obtained the rights to partake in LightStim’s potential Initial Public Offering (IPO). This aspect of the deal was particularly significant, reflecting my confidence in LightStim’s growth trajectory and market potential. It was a calculated decision to not only support LightStim’s immediate expansion but also to align with their long-term financial success.

This venture into the realm of red light therapy with LightStim was a deliberate step towards diversifying my investment portfolio, while also contributing to the advancement of health and wellness technology. It exemplified my commitment to fostering innovation and growth in cutting-edge sectors, ensuring a mutual benefit and sustained success.

Investor

Speak with a Geek

As the founder and creator of Speak with a Geek, I pioneered the first remote PC fixing platform that revolutionized the technical support industry. This innovative venture was launched with an investment of $800,000 from my own funds, a testament to my belief in its potential and commitment to its success. The platform was designed to cater to a global audience, offering services in nine different languages, and managed by a dedicated team of 80 professionals. This diverse and skilled team was instrumental in delivering top-notch services to our clients worldwide.

Our groundbreaking approach and business model garnered significant attention, leading to prestigious features in both the Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine. These acknowledgments were not only a testament to the novelty and effectiveness of our services but also highlighted our contributions to the tech industry at large.

Despite our early success and media recognition, Speak with a Geek faced considerable challenges in the market. We encountered aggressive competition from established industry players, notably BestBuy and their GeekSquad service. This competition proved to be more than just market rivalry; it felt akin to corporate bullying. As a result, despite our innovative approach and early achievements, Speak with a Geek experienced restricted growth and success.

This journey, though fraught with challenges, was a significant learning experience. It underscored the realities of competing in a high-stakes market against large, established corporations. Despite the setbacks, the experience and insights gained from founding and growing Speak with a Geek have been invaluable, contributing to my professional growth and shaping my future endeavors.

Additionally, I established a robust framework for domain acquisition and maintenance, which streamlined our online operations and reduced potential risks associated with digital assets.

Through this targeted domain strategy, I was able to effectively support Lower.com's marketing initiatives, reinforcing our online marketing campaigns and improving search engine rankings. This proactive management of our digital real estate has been a critical factor in enhancing our market position, driving traffic, and ultimately contributing to the sustained growth and success of the organization.
