400: Side Hustle Entrepreneurship - Akarsh Vinod

Akarsh shares his journey that was inspired in 2017 and has finally resulted in his speakers being produced and ready for shipment this year.  A major difference in bringing a consumer hardware item to market is the amount of work that goes into creating the concept, coming up with a prototype, and approaching the big boy manufacturers to help produce it. 

Some of Akarsh's tips to  getting started include:  

• Learning to de-risk
• You don't have to commit all-in to scale
• Learn the language and know the space
• Earn trust
