This seems underrated to me, I'm very surprised that this hasn't been funded already. Why do you think that is? Or has it been done privately and people think that it's bad optics and seen as inauthentic to be focus grouping your message?

LTFF has funded many of my favorite projects (like Manifold!), and I'm excited to contribute to their continued grantmaking

Hi Adrian!

This is an interesting idea, you've gotten some very good feedback already that you should take seriously. I'm a hardware engineer at a startup and run a small electronics business on the side. If you've never shipped hardware before, it's way harder than you think, but I still think if it's your best personal fit then hardware startups are underrated avenues for impact. I'm happy to chat and help in any way I can.
