Welcome to Factory of the Future, E73, Reinventing the Safe: Oscar Hedaya on Building Smart Security with The Space Safe
Join us as we discuss:
- Oscar's "aha moment": why he set out to modernize a product category that hadn't meaningfully evolved in 30 years, and how The Space Safe combines touchscreens, cameras, and connected software
- Inside the build: manufacturing partnerships in Asia, quality control measures, and protecting innovation through utility patents and copyrighted code
- Go-to-market strategy: starting with consumers, then retail, then enterprise — including how the notification system can prevent hotel burglaries and open dual-revenue opportunities
- Founder lessons: surrounding yourself with supportive people, using AI tools for market research, and the wild story of being stranded in a Middle East war zone
And so much more.
