VIRTUAL EVENT: Zoom Event link will be shared closer to the event. Most consumer hardware companies don’t struggle to build the product - they struggle to build a business around it. In this session, Hardware Velocity brings together Rathi Srinivas and Madhavi Gavini, co-founders of Droplette (scaled to ~$40M in revenue), to share what they’ve learned building a consumer hardware company and what becomes difficult as you move from early traction to scale. A candid discussion on how early signals, product decisions, and business assumptions shape what’s possible later. What to expect - Lessons on early demand vs durable demand - Where initial traction can be misleading - How product and business decisions start to constrain growth - Practical insights from building and scaling a consumer hardware company - Interactive discussion with time for Q&A Speakers Rathi Srinivas - Co-Founder, Droplette Madhavi Gavini - Co-Founder, Droplette About Hardware Velocity Hardware Velocity works with early-stage hardware companies to align product, engineering, and go-to-market decisions before they become expensive to change. This event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
