Go from working prototype
to scalable production

Powerhouse supports you in the full product-to-production journey.

Product architecture

Turn requirements into a clear technical architecture, development roadmap, and set of engineering priorities.

Prototype and EVT

Build and test prototypes that prove the product works as a complete system.

DVT and manufacturing readiness

Prepare the design, BOM, documentation, testing approach, and cost structure for manufacturing.

Supplier selection and PVT

Identify suitable partners, evaluate quotations, negotiate trade-offs, and manage pilot production.

Scale production

Improve repeatability, quality, yield, cost, and production capacity.

Ongoing optimization

Support product revisions, supplier performance, cost-down initiatives, quality issues, and production continuity.

Multiple ways to build

Whether you need a place to work, a focused technical sprint, or an entire execution team, Powerhouse meets you at the stage you are in today.

The place where ideas become physical products.

Shenzhen brings together an extraordinary concentration of engineers, suppliers, factories, components, tooling capabilities, and manufacturing knowledge. The opportunity is not only to produce more cheaply. It is to prototype faster, speak directly with suppliers, test production assumptions earlier, resolve technical questions closer to the source, compare manufacturing options, and shorten the feedback loop between design and production. Powerhouse makes this ecosystem easier to access and easier to use.

Why founders choose Powerhouse

Direct access to the people who've run successful Kickstarter campaigns, raised $35 million, and grew a hardware startup to 100 people globally — the people who do everything you want to do eventually as a founder.
