HARDWARE IS SEXY! AND YOU DON'T KNOW IT! 🚀💼 Some of the biggest companies—like TSMC, Apple, Nvidia, SpaceX, Tesla, and even Meta—are hardware-driven. 🛠️😅 For much of the last decade, hardware has been seen as a commodity, with hardware startups viewed as less valuable than software or SaaS. There's a stigma that hardware is hard—and it is! 🛠️✨ But at VALEON, we believe hardware is not just hard—it’s sexy and a smart business move! 🏆🌍 Why? Because larger risks bring larger rewards and market domination. 🌟📊 Market Potential -> Hardware can create new markets by introducing innovative products that address unmet needs or by significantly enhancing existing solutions, driving demand. 🏋️♂️🤖 By integrating software with physical devices, you can offer unique, better, defensible product experiences that stand out. This is especially true in gym tech, where our solutions go beyond general AI fitness offerings, providing capabilities that pure software can’t match.  🏹🔥 But it’s not good enough to just create the value—you have to capture it! And to capture the market aggressively!  🏰🚧 When the right hardware strategy is coupled with the right distribution channels, it creates a strong moat, making it difficult for competitors to catch up. 💡 What are your thoughts on the future of hardware? #HealthTech #FitnessInnovation #HardwareRevolution #SmartInvestment #VALEON

"AR computing!" Say goodbye to traditional laptops. An Israeli entrepreneur has innovated a technology that bids farewell to our traditional laptops. Tamir Berliner- founder of Sightful and the innovator behind the Spacetop G1! What is the Spacetop G1? Spatial computer that seamlessly integrates the functionality of a laptop with the capabilities Of Augmented Reality (AR). A 100-inch virtual workspace replaces the need for a physical screen. Spacetop G1 adapts to various environments, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. This represents a step forward in integrating AR technologies with daily tasks. Spatial with AR transforms how we interact with digital content, personally and professionally. The real test will be in its execution. The usability of the AR interface, the battery life, the comfort of AR glasses, etc., are crucial. I believe Sightful has managed to address these practical concerns effectively. And I am awaiting the official release in india. Congrats to Tamir Berliner and the team for their bold move and fantastic innovation. The Spacetop G1 is an evolution in how we think about personal computing.

Congratulations to Science Creates member Forefront RF for securing £16m of Series A funding to power next-generation connectivity solutions. This will further support its mission to revolutionise how mobile devices manage complex radio frequency environments for cleaner signal transmission. Science Creates’ Deep Tech VC firm, SCVC, was the first VC investor of the fabless semiconductor company, leading the seed investment round in 2021. Since then, the company has raised nearly £25m, defying a difficult investment environment faced by early-stage companies. In an area where others were pursuing incremental change, SCVC recognised and backed Forefront RF's bold approach to innovation with their category-defining technology, designed to overcome the size limitation challenges of printed circuit boards. This latest round of funding, from the likes of Octopus Ventures, Cambridge Innovation Capital, BGF and Foresight Group, marks a huge milestone for Forefront RF as it prepares to rapidly scale the production of its patented Foretune™ technology and product launch in 2026.

Conceiving a vision is just the beginning. As founders, we dream big, but worries about scalability can hold us back. We question whether our innovative idea can truly reach the masses, or if it will remain a niche solution. However, no vision is too big to be unscalable. The key lies in carefully considering crucial factors such as market demand, resource allocation, team dynamics, financial sustainability, and adaptability. Ultrahuman, India’s pioneering health-tech startup is one such example. They envisioned a wearable device tracking glucose levels in real-time, transforming metabolic health. From prototype to scale, Ultrahuman tackled regulatory hurdles, manufacturing logistics, user adoption, and data analytics integration. Their success proves that with meticulous planning, relentless execution, and adaptability, any vision can scale. So, don’t let doubts hold you back. Are you uncertain about scaling your vision? DM me!

Ever felt the pressure to chase the "next big thing" in tech? We all have. But what if the most important factor isn't the hype, but the underlying strength of the technology itself? Chris Dixon introduces a fascinating framework: strong vs. weak technologies. Weak technologies cater to the existing world, offering incremental improvements. They're easy to adopt, but their impact is limited. Think of that fancy new fitness tracker – sure, it counts steps, but is it revolutionary? Strong technologies, on the other hand, are the real game changers. They might seem impractical at first, but they have the power to reshape entire industries and behaviors. Remember the skepticism around the iPhone's touchscreen? Jobs knew "thumbs would learn." The key here is to develop conviction for strong technologies. They might take longer to take off, but their potential to disrupt and create entirely new opportunities is massive. So next time you're evaluating a new tech trend, ask yourself: is this just a tweak, or is it fundamentally changing the game? Because in the end, progress isn't made by adapting to the world, it's made by those who dare to reshape it. #technology #innovation #futureofwork #startups
