“Raja, it is impossible to build hardware without investors. It is impossible to pre-sale hardware. Clients want to see the product!” I have heard this so many times from founders.

Ethan sold their hardware before having the product and even before registering their company.
I LOVE IT.

Last year, in 2022, they made $12 million gross.
