Thanks for doing this!

How do I get started with hardware? I'm a software engineer trying to break into the hardware field. What resources can you recommend for someone in my shoes?

Happy to help. My background is actually in food and business, so I didn't have any hardware background. Your best bet is to immerse yourself in the hardware world - meet as many people as you can; join maker groups; go to local universities to meet engineers; and read as much as you can online. Ultimately, try to find a co-founder that has the skill set and knowledge to complement you.
