What we cover

DFM Review (live)

Send a schematic or layout before the webinar. Our engineering team reviews it live and gives 3 actionable fixes you can implement this week.

Component Sourcing

How to find alternate sources for long-lead parts, how to qualify a second-source, and how to negotiate with distributors (Digi-Key, Mouser, LCSC).

China+1 Migration Strategy

Real numbers on moving 1k-50k unit production from Shenzhen to Thailand. Lead times, NRE, MFi license transfer, what stays in China vs what moves.

Apple MFi / Google Find Hub Licensing

How to get licensed, timeline, cost, and how to work with an existing licensee (faster) vs becoming one yourself.

Low-Volume Manufacturing Economics

MOQ, NRE, tooling — the real pricing for 500-5,000 unit runs. Why "cheap per unit" is misleading at low volume.

Open Q&A

Bring your specific question. We've seen 200+ PCBA projects. If we don't know the answer, we'll tell you who does.
