Make in LA

Hardware accelerator in Los Angeles. We empower entrepreneurs & their business by making hardware not hard.

We accept seed stage companies, cultivate innovation, and groom for execution. What does that mean?You and your team came up with a brilliant idea. Innovative. You took your napkin drawing and turned it into an invention. You know this product will have fans, perhaps people will even use the term “Love” in association with your invention, and you just need to find the road to get it into people’s hands. The road ahead is full of obstacles that you wish to avoid. You may not have the money or connections. You may not know how to evaluate a manufacturing partner. However, you are passionate that this product needs to exist and you will stop at nothing to see it come to life.We fast track the time to market in a number of ways. For early stage hardware companies who make the cut, you can expect a $75,000 deposit in your bank account on day one. By the end of the four month program, you should be ready to do a more robust fundraising round. We also intend to place follow-on investments in businesses that have graduated and thrived.After the application period closes, we need a few weeks to evaluate your application. We are looking to see if you and your team have the passion and grit to bring this idea through to market and beyond. Are you willing to learn? Are you willing to focus on this business in our space for 4 months? Is your product is scalable, fundable, innovative, and improvable? Do people say wow when they hear your idea?
