Hardware is hard - and when you're building in aerospace, robotics, mobility or medtech, the stakes (and costs) multiply. In this fireside chat, two gritty founders walk us through the toughest part of the journey - the dreaded “Death Valley” between early product and real market traction. From managing burn while building prototypes, to finding believers when investors shy away from long timelines, and keeping teams motivated while debugging version 18.2, they’ll unpack how to not just survive, but engineer a path through this critical startup stage. Whether you're in aerospace or agtech, the struggle to scale physical tech is real - and this session keeps it real.
