But we still have a ways to go before hardware development can be truly accessible to everyone\u2014companies face a myriad of complex challenges in taking an idea and turning it into a commercially viable product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So to better understand these challenges, we surveyed over 200 people in the hardware industry, and we\u2019re excited to share our findings with you in this free report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognize this is only a small sampling of what\u2019s going on in the larger ecosystem, but we hope this snapshot provides value to the community so we can all reflect, continue to iterate, and innovate our way to better hardware development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Fictiv, we\u2019re working everyday to make it easier for companies to develop physical products by building better tools and creating better resources for truly democratized hardware development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
