U.S. hardware teams iterate far slower than Chinese factories on design-to-part cycles

UU.S. hardware iteration cycles lag China dramatically, where Shenzhen teams turn a design into a part in days while American equivalents take weeks, and this gap compounds over a development cycle. The need is startups that produce parts dramatically faster, enable rapid hardware iteration, and tightly integrate design, manufacturing, and logistics. Success means giving U.S. hardware teams a speed advantage comparable to their Chinese competitors.
