Were looking for a Co-Founder to take ownership of business operations strategy and scale-up at Attacan a full-service electronics development company with its own growing product portfolio and strong manufacturing network in Asia.
This is not just another early-stage startup : we already have more work than we can handle a six-figure backlog and a proven business model. But now we need someone on the business side to help build the company we know it can become.
Our mission
Attacan helps startups and SMEs bring hardware ideas to life from first sketch to finished product at the customers doorstep. We develop electronics design enclosures manage production in Asia and advise our clients throughout the entire product journey.
Now we want to scale this operation :
- Build subsidiaries for specific verticals
- Offer integrated development production services
- Serve more startups with flexible models (equity royalties)
- Help SMEs outsource entire product manufacturing to Asia
- Systematically identify and co-develop next-gen products with established companies
We are laying the foundation for a family of companies that offer full-service fast-to-market innovation in hardware.
