We empower Seed and Series A founders to bring breakthrough hardware to life.
From Strategy to Execution
Our team plugs in as your fractional hardware department, steering your startup and product through key milestones.
Whether you need high‑level guidance or hands‑on engineering, we tailor our support to your stage and needs. We embed with your team, lead development, and grow alongside you.
We navigate the non-linear path of hardware development
From the start, VPD has focused on being both flexible and embedded. We don’t prescribe one solution. Instead, we bring expertise in the process itself, helping teams test, learn, and adapt quickly. Our role is to collaborate, not dictate. To build trust, not transactions.
Embedding to build capacity, not long-term reliance
Developing solutions from outside often leads to gaps in understanding. Important details get missed, undiscovered needs remain hidden, and challenges only surface once they’ve become costly problems.
By embedding within your team, we approach every engagement with empathy, as well as objectivity. We align to the rhythms, culture, and priorities of the company, so our advice and decisions come from a place of shared understanding.
This client-centered approach ensures that we don’t just deliver recommendations, we co-create solutions that are realistic, actionable, and lasting.
Let’s talk about your project!
Short conversations welcome. We’ll help you figure out the right next step.
