Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Material price volatility
Raw material costs (copper, plastic) can fluctuate, impacting margins. Secure long‑term supplier contracts and maintain safety stock.
Compliance with IEC/ISO standards
USB products must meet IEC 60520 and ISO 9001. Non‑compliance can lead to product recalls and legal penalties.
Labor skill gaps
Assembly requires precision. Invest in short‑term training to reduce defects and improve productivity.
Cash flow timing
Revenue is B2B and may take 30–60 days to clear. Maintain sufficient working capital to cover early months.
