About Us
We're founders building for founders. Our mission is to make hardware development affordable and accessible.
Our Story
We started proton|demand after experiencing the pain of hardware development firsthand. As founders of hardware startups, we were frustrated by the opacity, high costs, and slow turnaround times of traditional manufacturing.
The manufacturing industry hasn't changed in decades. It's still dominated by sales calls, PDF quotes, and weeks of back-and-forth. We believe hardware founders deserve better.
Our platform cuts through the bullshit. We provide instant quotes, transparent pricing, and rapid turnaround times. No sales calls, no middlemen, no markup.
We're building the manufacturing platform we wish existed when we were building our hardware startups.
Our Mission
Our mission is to democratize access to high-quality manufacturing. We believe that hardware development should be as accessible and iterative as software development.
By providing instant quotes, transparent pricing, and fast turnaround times, we're enabling founders to build hardware faster and more efficiently than ever before.
We're committed to supporting the next generation of hardware founders by removing the friction from the manufacturing process.
Our Values
Transparency
We believe in complete transparency in pricing, processes, and communication. What you see is what you get.
Efficiency
We're obsessed with removing friction from the manufacturing process. Every step is optimized for speed and simplicity.
Quality
We never compromise on quality. Every part is inspected before shipping to ensure it meets our high standards.
Founder-First
We build for founders. We understand the challenges of hardware development and design our platform to address them.
