I have a business idea about developing an actual physical product. However, what I’m struggling with is the actual development due to my lack of knowledge in micro electronics and waterproof systems. How can I find people with this specific expertise. Is pitching an idea without actual product to show bad ? This is a very raw idea I had about making an interactive training service for swimming. Would love to hear any thoughts or advice. I’m a 23 yo recent grad engineer interested in startups.

Find people that may have the specialty. You can use LinkedIn and search for companies or roles (or a combination of both) where someone may have that expertise.

Reach out and tell them about the idea and ask whether it’s doable

1. Draw your idea step by step
2. They are many companies in US/ outside which charges 5k- 25k to develop functioning prototypes
3 Some of these also help in utility patents support including pitching to key distributors
4. Remember to sign NDA
