Embroid
Design partners

Apply to be an Embroid design partner.

We're rolling out with a small group of teams each building a different hardware workflow on Embroid. If that sounds like your team, we want to hear from you.

Who it's for

Teams with real hardware workflows to solve.

Firmware and validation teams

Teams shipping connected devices that need repeatable hardware workflows on real benches, in CI, and in the field.

Platform and DevTools teams

Teams building internal developer platforms around hardware control, agent workflows, and release evidence.

Manufacturing and field teams

Teams that need reproducible triage on the factory floor and at customer sites without shipping boards back.

What design partners get

A direct line into the product and roadmap.

  • Direct access to the founding team and a shared Slack or Linear channel.
  • Hardware (Basic or Pro) bundled into the engagement at partner pricing.
  • Influence over roadmap priorities — the features you need are the features we build next.
  • Onboarding, sequence authoring, and integration support from the Embroid team.
  • Early access to new capabilities and platform surfaces.
What we ask of you

Honest feedback and a real workflow.

  • A real workflow you want to solve, not just an evaluation.
  • Willingness to talk candidly — weekly check-ins during active rollout.
  • Permission to learn from your setup in aggregate (no customer data leaves your environment).
  • A single point of contact who can make decisions about rollout scope.
Onboarding timeline

A typical rollout.

Every engagement is shaped to the team, but this is the shape of most first months.

Week 1

Kickoff call. We map your hardware, your team, and the first workflow you want to move onto Embroid.

Week 2-3

Hardware ships. Client, Basic, or Pro gets installed on the chosen bench. First workflow runs end-to-end.

Month 2

Expand to additional benches, CI, or agent workflows based on what the first rollout proved out.

Month 3+

Ongoing iteration. You tell us what's missing; we prioritize it into the roadmap.

Workflows we're prioritizing

The first design-partner cohort.

We're picking a small number of partners across these workflows so each one gets meaningful engineering support. If your primary workflow is on this list, we'd like to talk.

  • Remote hardware access
  • CI hardware testing
  • Shared lab management
  • Agent-assisted firmware development
  • Factory and field triage
  • Compliance and release evidence
