Title: Hi Guys,<p>I have a working prototype for a device that addresses the needs of a large and neglected sector of the tech market (the blind) and am looking for a VC.<p>What are your suggestions for a startup <i>with a finished product</i> looking to go big? I'm looking for the industrial connections, product advice, etc. that only someone in the field would have. The current hype is all about (web) software, but I have a hardware product I'm looking to make something out of it.<p>From what I've been told, the terms of hardware VCs are much more favorable towards startup founders than in the software world because (esp. with a finished product) the result is tangible and the founder has done all the hard work and then some and it's basically a more sound investment, but I don't if that's actually true.<p>I'm looking for investments in order to pay for the legal costs (several patents on this product), the development of a polished version instead of something hacked together in a workshop, as well as marketing and business costs.<p>Any advice on this matter is most welcome.<p>Thanks!
