I have a well made, ugly, sorta heavy, but working, machine. It cost me a lot to build due to experimentation, but now I have a good working product. I also have three pre-orders (this machine is a farm tool that will be somewhere around $5000, having a few pre-orders is a big deal to me) which happened by accident when the neighboring farm saw me testing it in the field. Now I’m to the part where it needs to go from looking like Johnny 5 to a real product.
There is a significant need for a mechanical and electrical engineer to make it much better, patent attorney, marketers, labor, etc etc. People who are smarter than me, basically.
Is this a Y Combinator situation? It isn’t exactly tech. I do use machine learning to solve some image recognition needs, but nothing you can’t find on GitHub from the open source community and an Arduino handbook. At least, that’s what I used.
