Building Hardware in Vancouver: Lessons from Local Makers

Join Daniel Godfrey alongside Robbie Roberts, Principal at Form3 Design; Roy Trivett, CEO at Manterra Technologies; and Kiron Sen, CTO at Boron Energy, for an inside look at what it really takes to build hardware in Vancouver. From building your first prototype to making early manufacturing decisions, this session brings together founders and builders who have done it before. This discussion focuses on real experiences, what worked, what didn't, and what they would do differently. You'll hear how local makers have approached challenges like sourcing components, managing costs and iterating quickly. Whether you're just starting out or already developing a product, this session will give you practical insights into building and scaling hardware from Vancouver, where community plays a huge role.
