Getting YOU there…from HERE
Firmware- Software- Applications- Cloud
We have over 400 engineers that specialize in IOS, Android, Windows and Linux operating systems. IOT is a hot buzzword in the industry but in reality IOT is N.O.T. without the firmware for mobile and embedded applications to run it along with the cloud services to support the SaaS revenue business model to make it all happen on the backend. AWS, Azure, & Google are all in our solution matrix. If you are not sure how it all fits together, let’s jump on a a quick call to walk through it.
Mechanical Design- Printed Circuits- Tool Design
We can work with your team starting from Evaluation boards and get you to fully functional prototype PCBs and enclosures with our seasoned printed circuit layout team and electrical & electronic engineers. Utilizing DFMEA methodology our designers with 3D printing capability along with our MECH/TOOL designers get you to soft tool and hard tool (T1) decisions in a “One and Done” to production process. DB TECH do not do the “Minimum Viable Product”. We do Best Viable Product to enable you to secure the funding you may need to complete the project.
Manufacturing- Distribution- Logistics
Pre & Pilot production runs ensure your product is manufacturable at scale. We provide manufacturing test jig development. Quality inspection systems implementation. Our manufacturing management team have worked with industry giants like Foxconn as well as small to medium factories such as Ether Digital that are much more flexible and cost effective for lower volume products. Our Team can also help get your product to market whether your channel is Amazon, Walmart, from your own website, or you are hawking it from the bed of your pickup truck.

How We Work
When you engage with us, you engage with the entire team. Our 1 hour (or so) first Consultation is absolutely free. Contact us at info@db-tech.us and summarize what your project is about, what challenges you are facing, and what you think you need to get over the hump. We will schedule a call and pull in our most experienced resources that best match with your project requirements. We will tell you everything on the call that we believe you need and will work best for your situation, albeit as time permits. Sometimes that is all it takes for an energetic optimistic entrepreneur to go off and make something incredible. What also tends to happen is that we find some synergy between us and work out the best way to align our experienced team members with your innovative go getters to go make something wonderful. While we may not schedule a call for every email we receive due to product fit or project requirements not being a match, you will receive a live person response to your email query with an explanation of why. You took the time write us, we will absolutely make the time to write back. Please note: We have not asked about product volume as justification for our call, it is not a prerequisite-
Steve Jobs had a volume of ZERO when he started the Iphone project.
What’s the Cost?
Once we engage we charge a flat rate monthly fee. This covers the team while we determine exactly what is needed for your project.The engagement fee is $7,500 per month and covers all of the experts that are advising your team. There IS a limit in terms of total hours per month for the engagement, but you are typically getting 3-5 content area experts for ~40-80 hours per month each for the first month or so. This time allows us to deliver a detailed proposal that includes estimated deliverables, and milestones.That works out to about $23 per hour of service per resource. After the initial period, we have specific area project managers herding the cats and driving schedules. You can cancel anytime after the first month with a 30 day notice via email or a simple text message. How easy is that? Please note: Engineering development work, such as Software, Firmware, Applications, Mechanical or Industrial design is a separate charge that usually runs between $150-$250 Per Man hour. Engineering work is quoted up front in terms of man-hours needed and committed schedule for the specified task completion. This is delivered as a firm quote and must be pre-approved by you before any actual work begins.
Investment Funding and Analysis
Do you need help with Funding? Our network includes many Angel Investors, Incubators, and Startup groups that are starving for ideas. We cannot guarantee acceptance of any given project, but we do get a good place in the queue for consideration with companies such as KickStarter, Startup Grind, 500 Startups, and LaunchBoom.
On the flip side we also help investors to evaluate projects to determine market opportunity fit (MRD vetting), technical feasibility, manufacturability, cost versus margins (PRD vetting). Overall project development cost estimates, ongoing operating costs and cash burn rates over time. We zero in on the critical factors that are important for informed investment decision making. A $10K wager that proves you are right… or an insurance premium that just saved $2.99 million from an unviable project.
Silicon IP SoC Design Services & Business Development
DB TECH also services Intellectual Property owners who are looking for partners and customers for integration of their IP into Silicon on Chip (SoC) and semiconductor applications. Our team of industry veterans have extensive experience with the latest and greatest demand trends as well as legacy product fulfillment needs.
We have direct relationships with the top design houses and the tier one silicon foundries (FABS) such as TSMC and Globalfoundries. If you need something more cost effective and accessible, we also work with highly capable and reputable FABs in Europe and Asia.
If you are worried about who to sell your products to, have no fear, our world class semiconductor business development team can find sockets for your newly minted or overstocked silicon supply.
