I’m sure you’ve noticed on site by now, but we wanted to officially announce this new Hardware Creator Support program in partnership with NextPCB! We’re aiming to help our sellers to reduce development costs and help bring cool new products to the market. Eligible Tindie sellers can receive support for PCB prototyping, international shipping, and DFM design checks along with project promotion across our social media channels.
The program will run from September 5th, 2026 to December 5th, 2026.
Program coupons will be issued once per month on the 5th of each month for September, October and November. Each coupon is valid for three months from the date of issue. The application deadline is August 31st so make sure to submit yourself before the cutoff date!
Each chosen seller will receive $150 worth of support over the three months for PCB prototyping and international shipping, and access to NextPCB’s HQ DFM tool. This tool is available both as a web tool and a desktop application and can check Gerber files, drill files, trace width/space issues, solder mask and silkscreen designs, and other common PCB manufacturing issues. It’s meant to work as an additional step on top of doing DRC in your CAD/CAM software, not as a replacement.
Eligibility is simple: you have to have a Tindie account with good standing that has at least one sale, with a few limited slots for new sellers who do not yet have any orders. Having a good product development plan, the ability to demonstrate innovation capabilities or a credible long-term operating plan will make your application stand out! Show us what your plans are for a new product, and give us a brief overview of how we can help bring it to life. You will also need to either have, or be able to register for, a NextPCB account. Ensure you fill out everything in the application form correctly, as accuracy is key to a successful application!
Additionally, we will also be doing project promotion support from September 5th to February 5th, 2027. There’s no need to apply for this separately: we will be covering many of the approved projects and we’ll work with you to tailor your messaging to help drive interest.
So what are you waiting for? Click here to read all the details and get started with your application today!
