Some observations -
This new wave of consumer hardware / personal computing co's have incredible design + brands. Brand clearly matters for consumer hardware companies.
Some of the marketing videos these brands made are impressive. Truly a new level of brand and product marketing for early stage startups
Hardware-first necessitates the need for more robust brand systems from day 1 (hard to change brand later on a physical product)
Excited to see how brand continues to develop in the space!
