Linear Capital π Recruitment: N+1 Possibilities for Consumer Hardware in the AI Era | Linear Event

线性资本·November 20, 2025

November 29 — see you in Shenzhen.

"Linear Tech π" is a frontier tech salon series recently launched by Linear Capital, designed as a high-caliber knowledge exchange platform for founders and industry practitioners through the most rigorous form of discussion.

Each session zeroes in on one critical industry pain point, bringing together veteran tech entrepreneurs to cut through the noise and explore genuine solutions to real problems.

The second "Linear Tech π" event will take place in Shenzhen on November 29, this time focusing on "Consumer Hardware in the AI Era." We welcome your registration — join Linear in our journey: rooted in technology, forging our own path.

Powered by a new generation of AI technology, one consensus is becoming increasingly clear: the ultimate form of AI will never remain confined to a chat box; it will permeate every dimension of our lives.

In this era, world-class supply chains and manufacturing capabilities have become the most powerful "innovation backbone" for China's AI hardware entrepreneurs. Open-source hardware, modular design, open developer platforms — new technical paradigms are lowering the barriers to hardware innovation. Entrepreneurs no longer need to reinvent the wheel from scratch. They can stand on a richer ecosystem foundation, focus on building their core value, and grow together with the entire industry chain.

Even a small team or an individual, armed with a brilliant idea, can transform imagination into tangible products at unprecedented speed, cost, and quality. In the exploration of AI-hardware fusion, there is no predetermined script. Whoever understands users most deeply will create the most irreplaceable value. This is a "battle of experience" at the intersection of software and hardware, and we are heartened to see China's AI consumer hardware evolving from "manufacturing" toward "intelligent creation."

Yet while the tide of AI hardware entrepreneurship is unstoppable, the road ahead for innovators and founders remains foggy in places:

  • How do you define a truly "AI Native" product?
  • How do you build market momentum through crowdfunding and other channels?
  • How do you strike the golden balance between power consumption, performance, and cost?
  • How do you assemble a lean, battle-ready hardware team?
  • How do you bridge the chasm from demo prototype to million-unit mass production?
  • How do you build an irreplaceable ecosystem moat in a globalized market?

All these questions demand answers. But we firmly believe that the answers lie not in working behind closed doors, but in every genuine collision of ideas, every hardcore discussion, every handshake of industrial collaboration.

On the afternoon of November 29, the "Linear Tech π" frontier tech salon comes to Shenzhen. On this hotbed of hardware innovation, we will gather with frontline disruptors, pioneering thinkers, and ecosystem builders to explore "The N+1 Possibilities of AI Consumer Hardware."

Worth noting: this "Linear Tech π" salon goes beyond industry exchange — it will also serve as a "concentrated observation" of the future. We are partnering with Kickstarter's first officially authorized offline space in China. During the event, attendees will not only have hands-on access to innovative products from around the world, but can also use DIY equipment including laser engraving, 3D printing, and UV printing to customize exclusive keepsakes on-site.

Spots are limited. We welcome tech entrepreneurs, practitioners, and researchers from all backgrounds to scan the QR code on the poster below to register.
