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

CES is coming.

And here is the truth:
The value you get from #CES is not what happens during the show.

The real value is what you do in the months leading up to it and the months after.

Scrape the exhibitor list.
Filter, sort, and study.
Reach out early and set meetings.
Plan your days in 30-minute chunks.
Go to the after-parties.
Walk the floor in your free time to see what you might have missed.
Take rigorous notes — because you will forget who you met and what you talked about.

Then, when the dust settles, follow up like crazy.

CES is expensive. It is time-consuming. It is exhausting.
But if you prepare well, it can also be career-changing.

Don’t waste your shot.
And for the love of God, wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated. 💚

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?

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.

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)

It might be your 8th meeting of the day.
Your 10th discovery call of the week.
Your 3,475th time presenting this year.

You are tired. You have said the same lines so many times you could do it in your sleep.

But the person on the other side?
It is their first time hearing it from you.

That matters.

Roll out the red carpet for every customer, partner, or provider who gives you their time. Make the moment feel special. Make them feel like the only one in the room.

Yes, it is hard. We all fall into patterns. But each conversation is someone’s first impression of who you are, what you stand for, and how you show up.

Treat it like opening night, not a rehearsal. 💚

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. 

Connected Devices + Conversations: A Networking Happy Hour
