Engaging with the Startup Community
Our team is deeply rooted in the global hardware startup ecosystem. Prior to founding VPD, Ryan co-founded Highway1, one of the premiere accelerators of the consumer hardware era, and co-authored The Hardware Startup, a foundational guide for early-stage founders. He also helped grow the community by co-organizing the San Francisco Hardware Meetup. These experiences shape the way we continue to support founders today as we continue to create content and collaborations for the hardware community.
