The PROBLEM

Your startup’s
Fate isn’t in the Idea, It’s in the Execution

In hardware development, every funding stage comes with high-stakes challenges. Founders often rush prototypes, cut corners with suppliers, and make design decisions without thinking about scalability. As funding grows, investors demand functional prototypes, accurate costs, and a clear market path but early design flaws, bad supplier choices, and weak documentation often surface at the worst time.


These mistakes can cost months, burn capital, and damage investor trust.

32%
of all startup failures cite team or experience gaps.
CB Insights found “Not the right team” (23%) and “Lack of passion/domain expertise” (9%) as common reasons in post-mortems across industries.
42%
of hardware startups fail from long development cycles.
MacroFab’s 2023 analysis also found 34% fail from poor product-market fit, often a symptom of weak product-development know-how and planning.
25-35%
is the estimated share of failures tied to team gaps.
 In hardware, the effect is likely at the high end, where complexity amplifies the impact of missing product-development expertise.
The Solution

MILIVOJA Partnership
We Build what you Believe can't be Built

25–35% of startups fail because they lack the development expertise to turn an idea into a real, scalable product. In hardware, that number is even higher. MILIVOJA exists to ensure you’re not one of them. With 15+ startups that have partnered with us and successfully launched their products into the market, we empower you to take control of your product development journey. We become your entire product development department, guiding you from first concept to investor-ready prototype and beyond.


With MILIVOJA, you gain access to a comprehensive suite of services that cover every aspect of product development, from design to supplier management. This not only ensures that no detail is overlooked, but also saves you time and resources, giving you the confidence that your product is in good hands.

RESEARCH AND STRATEGY
Design research and product strategy

To effectively understand the product and how it is used in the market, it is essential to conduct thorough research. This includes analyzing consumer behavior, market trends, and competitor strategies, and gathering feedback from users. Additionally, repetitive study and analysis will provide deeper insights into the product's positioning and its overall impact on the market.

DESIGN
Industrial design and development

Design process starts with a careful analysis to find out what users need and which opportunities exist in the market. Then we come up with initial ideas, make prototypes, and test and improve them based on feedback. Once we've finished, we work with engineering teams to make sure the designs can be manufactured. We focus on how they look, how they work, and how sustainable they are. This way, we make sure we create new and useful solutions that our clients and their customers will like.

ENGINEERING
Mechanical and hardware engineering

Mechanical and hardware engineering process begins by understanding project requirements and specifications. We then conduct feasibility studies, use advanced software tools to create detailed designs, develop prototypes, rigorously test them, refine designs based on test results, and collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure efficiency and quality.

MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing and prototyping

Manufacturing process begins with reviewing design specs and materials. We use advanced techniques like 3D printing and CNC machining to create accurate prototypes, perform in-depth testing, and refine designs based on feedback before moving into full-scale production. Quality control and efficiency are our priorities to meet clients' needs.

We don’t hand you a checklist; we do the work with you. Every design decision, every prototype iteration, and every supplier handshake is handled by experts who’ve done it before successfully.

With MILIVOJA, you get more than just a product. You get a committed partner who is dedicated to getting it right the first time. This commitment to quality and excellence gives you the confidence that your product will be a success.
