Episode 31 of Hardware Startups with Fexingo dives into a critical but often overlooked challenge: supply chain risk. Lucas and Luna explore how a 2026 landscape of geopolitical tariffs, semiconductor lead times, and component shortages forces hardware startups to rethink procurement. They examine the case of a robotics startup that survived a capacitor shortage by dual-sourcing from a Japanese and a Korean supplier, and why building buffer inventory of high-risk components can be a better hedge than just-in-time. The hosts discuss the role of supply chain mapping software, the art of negotiating with distributors, and the hidden costs of single-source dependencies. Listeners learn actionable strategies: which components to stockpile, when to use contract manufacturing for flexibility, and how to build 'supply chain optionality' without blowing the budget. The episode closes with a forward-looking question on whether startups should co-invest with suppliers to lock in capacity. A must-listen for founders building physical products. #HardwareStartups #SupplyChain #RiskManagement #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Hardware #Startup #2026 #Semiconductors #ComponentShortage #DualSourcing #Manufacturing #Logistics #Procurement #Robotics #Geopolitics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
