who's right for the Fika Bytes Circle.. and who isn't?
This community is built for early-stage hardware founders who are pre–product-market fit and still under $1M in revenue — but thinking big. You're not here to build a hobby project. You're here to turn a real business into a breakout success.
We're focused on strategy, go-to-market, and traction — not engineering science experiments. Whether you're exploring crowdfunding, planning your first pilot run, or trying to validate demand, this is where hardware founders get sharper together.
The Fika Five premium tier is coming soon. For now, apply to join the free Circle and start connecting with other serious builders.
my promise to you
I'll do everything in my power to get your hardware startup to its first $1M.
