The prototype lab
Where ideas take shape
The Prototype Lab is a full-service prototype design and development agency that helps inventors, startups, corporate R&D teams, and investors rapidly validate, refine, and prepare products for market launch. Our multi-disciplinary expertise in mechanical engineering, electronics, and software integration ensures that prototypes are not just concepts—they are functional, manufacturable, and investment-ready.
Move from ideation to validation in days…not weeks.
Who We Work With…
🔹Corporate R&D Teams – Overcome internal bottlenecks and accelerate development. We act as an agile extension of your team, delivering quick-turn functional prototypes and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) expertise to ensure seamless production scalability.🔹 Startups & Entrepreneurs – With 90% of hardware startups failing, we help founders create investor-ready MVPs, ensuring they secure funding and achieve product-market fit before burning through resources.🔹 Investors & VCs – De-risk your portfolio by validating the technical feasibility of startup ideas before investing. We provide early-stage prototype assessment to prevent costly mistakes.🔹 University Research Labs & Government R&D – Transform academic research into real-world solutions by developing working prototypes to secure grants, validate findings, and scale innovations.
Results We Have Produced For Our Clients
First Mover Advantage™ Secure your market position by accelerating development through parallel engineering systems. This approach compresses timelines and helps deploy the product before competitors can compete or copy your initial designs.MarketProof™ Transforms an invention into an "investor-ready" prototype by systematically validating demand with the target market. This process provides empirical evidence of demand, replacing projections with quantifiable data.Scale-As-You-Grow™ This modular service structure allows clients to begin with essential prototyping services and scale up precisely when needed. It provides transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing with no up-front fees.Proof Vault™ Strengthens patent applications and bolsters investor confidence by creating an unbreakable chain of evidence for an invention's development. It includes multi-format documentation, such as HD video recordings and detailed technical specifications.7-Point Proto-Spec Score™ De-risk your invention through our systematic assessment framework that evaluates seven critical prototype viability factors. This data-driven approach provides quantifiable validation metrics and a clear development roadmap, enabling confident progression from concept to investor-ready prototype while minimizing costly iterations and setbacks.
