Ask HN: What interesting hardware startups are based in London?

8 points·ShinyCyril··4 comments

I'm looking for a graduate job at a hardware startup in London. It seems most lists I find only cover design agencies etc.

Upverter supposedly has a map, but unfortunately it's down. There's also a Wired article with a map, but that too is down for me.

If music is your thing then ROLI: https://www.roli.com/

Kano are always impressive: http://www.kano.me/

If children's toys are your thing, MakieLab have very smart people: https://mymakie.com/

Sugru have an awesome team: https://sugru.com/about

Kokoon are doing interesting wearables stuff: https://kokoon.io/

There's also a hardware startup meet-up on next week. Usually attended by a bunch of interesting hardware companies: http://www.meetup.com/Hardware-Pioneers-by-Hardware-Startup-...

Thanks – I'll check those out!

Other than that, I know of converge who're growing last I knew: http://converge.io/

If Bristol's not too far, then http://ultrahaptics.com/careers/ or get in touch with my consultancy - we're doing connected product development: https://zoetrope.io

I was fairly adamant that I wanted to stay in London, however I recently visited a friend in Bristol and really enjoyed the city.

What would you say is different about working at a consultancy?
