Every piece of hardware starts the same way. An idea, to paper, to real life. The hard part has always been the middle. Months of design, sourcing and iteration before you hold anything real. Today we're launching Blueprint with a new look. Describe what you want to build, and it designs the hardware for you. Prompt to hardware. Whether you're a student on your first build, a founder racing to a prototype, or an R&D team trying to ship faster, Blueprint gets you from idea to a real build faster. You can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own thing. blueprint.io

Today we're introducing Blueprint v2: the fastest way from hardware idea to real build. AI writes code in seconds. Hardware still takes weeks of datasheets, forum threads and guessing which parts fit together. Describe it, sketch it, or upload a photo. Blueprint gives you every part, where to buy it, exact wiring and CAD. Now you can build with friends in real time. 300,000+ projects designed so far. Everyone has a hardware idea. Now they can actually build it. Try it free: https://blueprint.io

More than 175,000 users in three months - and more than 200,000 hardware plans. Blueprint has now closed more than $1 million USD (CAD $1.4 million) in pre-seed funding from a16z speedrun, Founders, Inc. and undisclosed angels. David Feldt, Sajeel Purewal and Pranav Seelam are applying the logic of vibe coding to physical products. A user describes what they want to build, and Blueprint generates a parts list, wiring guidance, mechanical plans, sourcing suggestions and step-by-step assembly instructions. The workflow bottleneck is different from software. Hardware ideas still get trapped between component research, incompatible parts, fabrication constraints and the expertise needed to make a prototype actually work. Blueprint is trying to compress that scattered process into one conversational design layer. The company started with autonomous indoor delivery robots before pivoting to the broader tooling problem. Its users now span hobbyists and founders building one-off prototypes, from robotic arms and drones to medical devices. Quick facts👇 ● founders: David Feldt; Sajeel Purewal; Pranav Seelam ● HQ: Toronto, Ontario, Canada ● Investors: a16z speedrun; Founders, Inc. How far can language-to-hardware tools move beyond prototype planning before manufacturing itself becomes part of the prompt?

Most hardware ideas die in the notebook. This summer, we're trying to change that. Build your idea on Blueprint, and if it wins, we'll help you patent it for free through our partners at Fearn, so it can actually become a product, not just a prototype. Best builds also take home $13K+ in Bambu Lab printers and Jetson Orin Nanos. Submissions close Aug 31st. If there's an idea you keep meaning to start, this is the push.

Today, I’m excited to announce that Blueprint raised over $1 million in pre-seed funding, led by a16z speedrun. A year ago, I met my co-founders, Sajeel Purewal and David Feldt. The three of us shared a love for hardware and started building a delivery robotics company. We quickly became frustrated by how difficult and time-consuming it was to find and source compatible components. Iterating on and testing a new design took weeks. This inspired us to build Blueprint, a tool that brings component sourcing, research, and design guidance into one place so anyone can turn an idea into a complete hardware design. Our vision is to lower the barrier to entry for building hardware and reduce iteration time. We went all in on Blueprint in April, and it grew far faster than we imagined. In the early days, our servers could barely keep up, crashing every other day and sometimes multiple times a day 🙄. I found myself having to rebuild our core software systems and infra every week. Keeping pace pushed me to grow alongside the product, and that has been one of the most rewarding parts of the journey. The momentum has only continued to build. Today, Blueprint has more than 175,000 accounts, with builders around the world using it every minute of the day to design hardware projects. I’m especially grateful to my amazing co-founders, Sajeel Purewal and David Feldt, who have always had my back. And a huge thank you to Fareed Mosavat, Troy Kirwin, Andrew Chen, and the rest of the a16z speedrun team for taking an early bet on us! This is only the beginning, https://www.blueprint.io/ to the moon 🚀🚀 .

Super excited to share that Blueprint (blueprint.io) has raised a $1M USD ($1.4M CAD) pre-seed to make hardware development as fast as thought. Backed by a16z speedrun, Founders, Inc., and some amazing angel investors. Getting here wasn't super straightforward. Just over a year ago, David Feldt and I left our jobs. We spent last summer living in a hostel while doing the Founders Inc. accelerator and Pranav Seelam left his masters at Georgia Tech and moved to SF on a whim. We were building a robotics application to automate indoor deliveries. Along the way, we noticed that while the bar to build software had dropped with tools like Claude Code, Replit, and Lovable, hardware was still painfully fragmented. Half the battle was just sourcing the right component and ensuring they’d arrive on time. That frustration turned into a question: what would a tool like those, look like but for hardware? In April we launched and people answered before we could, our posts kept going viral, the site kept crashing from traffic, and it was clear there was something here. It’s crazy to think that a living room conversation a few months ago has turned into a platform with over 175,000 accounts created, and we’re just getting started. Whether you’re a engineering student working through a capstone project or a hardware founder looking to prototype a product we’re building a future where anyone, anywhere, can build anything and blueprint is step one towards that vision. A special thanks to Fareed Mosavat, Troy Kirwin, Andrew Chen, and the entire Speedrun team for their support! Software had its moment, hardware is next.

Very excited to have out story covered with BetaKit
Blueprint bills itself as the "Lovable for hardware," letting users turn their prompts into projects. In just three months, it has attracted more than 175,000 users who are using it to help them build everything from MP3 players and robotic arms to drones, solar watering systems, wireless chargers, and a pickleball launcher. #CDNTech #AI

We just raised $1M led by a16z speedrun to turn ideas into hardware. AI has already had its moment for software. So I started asking myself: what's the AI moment for hardware? Right now, the barriers to bringing something into the physical world are immense. Engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, capital, years of your life. Most ideas never get built, not because they're bad, but because the path from sketch to shelf is built for people who already have the resources to make it happen. We started Blueprint (blueprint.io) because we believe anything can be made real, no matter how crazy. We want to compress the distance between a sketch and a product you can hold. To turn a bit into an atom. This raise is one step toward a bigger goal: letting anyone bring a product to life, no technical ability required. Thanks for the support from Fareed Mosavat and Troy Kirwin from the a16z speedrun team for believing in the vision. As well as my 2 cofounders Sajeel Purewal and Pranav Seelam for this to be possible. If you want more cool things to exist in the world, follow along, we're merging the digital and the physical, one idea at a time. Learn More in the comments.
