Inkboard

A beautifully simple e-ink display that brings calm, glanceable information into your home.

Inkboard set out to build Inku, a thoughtfully designed e-ink device that helps people stay informed without the distraction of a typical screen. As a small founding team, they needed a full product and go-to-market partner to take the concept from prototype to shipping product.

Inkboard came to informal for end-to-end support. Our team handled industrial design, mechanical engineering and DFM, firmware (including OTA updates on the ESP32-C6), supply chain and e-ink vendor negotiations, branding, and crowdfunding campaign video and management. We're now embedded with the team on the Inku manufacturing ramp, from off-tool samples and packaging review through quality audits, lifetime testing, and 3PL coordination.
