We hear the terms “lean product development” and “hardware revolution” thrown around as descriptors for the future of hardware, but what do those ambitious labels really mean?

We’ve asked four hardware startups, in the midst of it all, to define exactly what “lean” means to them and how it influences the way they develop hardware products.

There’s going to be beer, eats, product demos, free Fictiv giveaways, and cool people.

To help guide the discussion, we welcome you to submit questions in advance via the rsvp question box.

+ Catch up on each startup's product development story @ the Fictiv Spotlight hub.

We anticipate an engaging and challenging discussion and welcome you to join us with open minds!
