Last week we hosted another event in our monthly event series at Fictiv, this time focusing on the trials and tribulations of bringing a product to market.  

To Sell or Not to Sell: How to Get Your Hardware Product to Market featured an amazing panel of speakers who have executed a variety of crowdfunding, e-commerce, and large retail campaigns, including Zach Supalla (Founder and CEO of Particle), Kate Whitcomb (Program Director at HAX Boost), Sean Harris (Head of Marketing at Eero), and Eric Dy (CEO of Bloom Technologies).

The panelists had valuable insight on how important customer feedback is in building your product, from early validation to brand building for large retailers. Ultimately, all agreed that regardless of platform, transparency and consistency in communication trumps all.
