Frequently Asked Questions
We’re Here to Help
What is Proto10k?
Proto10K is a prototyping service that offers affordable and high-quality prototyping solutions to help you bring your ideas to life. We only take on projects that we know we can complete within our flat $10k fee. In some cases there may be additional charges for materials which will be approved by the client before any work begins.
​
What kind of products can Proto10K prototype?
Proto10K can prototype a wide range of products, including hardware, software, and physical products. We work closely with our clients to ensure that we meet their unique needs and specifications. We adhere to all applicable laws and can't build anything that is illegal, a weapon, or otherwise inherently dangerous.
How does Proto10K ensure quality?
Proto10K is committed to providing high-quality services. We put an emphasis on function over form. This means that at Proto10K we prioritize the practical usefulness and effectiveness of what we build over their appearance or aesthetics.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Anything you send or say to us will be held in the strictest confidence. We're happy to sign your NDA, or ours, or both!
Does anyone read FAQs anymore?
At Proto10k we don't time to read the FAQ, we're too busy turning the invention in your head into something real!
Who owns the finished work product?
You do! Everything we do are "work for hire" projects and as such the work product belongs to the customer or customers.
When and how do I pay?
You pay NOTHING for our initial conversation. If we decide we can take your project, and if you choose to use us, the $10k is due immediately. No work can be started before your payment has been made.
How do I know you will produce after you take my $10k?
You don't. That said, we'll produce for you. Period. We can say that because we only take on projects we KNOW we can succeed with.
