npub1qg48cy9nkrm0pkeuz7e9zrzeq2n6lnlwyn30u9zd0xe07g9qvras00augv (npub1qg4…augv) Hardware is a challenging business, even harder if trying to do it ethically (much harder than ethical software). Creating custom hardware (instead of white label) is even harder and requires a significant amount of cash up front.
The main alternative to private funding is crowdsourcing, and I can say from personal experience that there are many problems with that approach as well.
I don't have a good solution, but I do have empathy for people who are trying to find one.
