Hardware investors
Hardware investors are a genuinely smaller pool than software, which makes targeting precision more valuable than outreach volume in this segment.
How to approach this segment
Manufacturing readiness is the axis they assess on. Where you are between prototype and production — and specifically what remains unsolved — determines both the round size and which investors can participate at all.
Because the qualified pool is smaller, a poorly targeted hardware pitch burns a scarcer resource. It is worth spending longer confirming a fund has done hardware recently before contacting them.
