Hardware development is broken. Brilliant ideas often die in the gap between pretty designs and factory realities. Geniotek was built to be the true partner you need. We own the full solution from concept to production—thinking like your CTO and fighting for your product like a co-founder.

After years in the trenches of hardware development, our founder saw the same tragic pattern: startups burning cash on dead-end prototypes and missing launch windows because no one owned the full process from start to finish.

We realized the industry needed a team that cares about the final manufactured reality as much as the initial concept. That's why Geniotek was born.

FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common ones. If not listed, book a 30-min diagnostic call for honest answers.
What is a Fractional CTO?
Senior technical leadership, part time and on demand. Unlike agencies that disappear or factories that only follow specs, we are your extended CTO: owning strategy, questioning assumptions early, connecting design and manufacturing, and accountable for results. Co founder expertise at consultant rates, ideal for hardware teams.
What makes Geniotek different from agencies or factories?
We're not an agency that disappears after deliverables or a broker with hidden markups. We provide full transparency from day one as your strategic partner — with Hong Kong design and Dongguan manufacturing — de-risking concept to production while protecting your margins.
How does the process work?
Three steps: 1. Consultation & Diagnosis: Clear "go/pivot/no-go" with roadmap, risks, feasibility, rough BOM/timeline. 2. Product Development: Engineering, Hi-Fi prototypes, mass production docs. 3. Production Support: On-ground management, milestones, QC oversight.
What is the minimum project size or budget?
Milestone-based, no large upfronts: Consultation: $50/30min. Product Development: From $2,000. Production Support: $800/month or $280/day QC. Tailored quote after diagnostic call based on complexity.
How do you handle IP and confidentiality?
Your IP stays yours. Mutual NDAs from first deep talk. We advise on patents but claim no ownership. All files and assets under your control for full security.
Do you work with startups or bootstrapped inventors?
Yes — startup-focused. We de-risk early to protect limited capital, offer flexible pacing, and honest "no-go" advice. Scale support to your growth stage.
What if we only need help with one stage, like prototyping or production?
Yes — engage us for any gap. Product Development from $2,000; Production Support $800/month or $280/day QC. No full commitment required.
How do we get started?
Book a 30-min Consultation ($50). Share your idea — get honest feasibility, risks, and roadmap. Then move straight to Product Development if it fits.
