Tomorrow Lab® is a technology innovation studio that helps entrepreneurs—from new startup founders to established corporate research and development leaders—turn their concepts into reality, taking new ideas into usable products.
Founded in 2010 by Ted Ullrich and Pepin Gelardi, Tomorrow Lab® combines design and development. It enables fast hardware prototyping to create physical technology products that can be quickly scaled up, manufactured, and brought to market.
TL's quick, efficient process, which they have used to improve hundreds of projects, helps optimize development timelines, reduce technology risk, and lower overall manufacturing costs. You might think of it as a way to turn what's on paper into a product you can hold in your hand.
A Studio on Your Side
Unlike many product design firms, Tomorrow Lab® operates as a fully integrated product team. Its tech-focused, hands-on approach makes it essential to many organizations looking to take their ideas to the next level. Tomorrow Lab® builds a customized approach for each project that combines advanced prototyping with strategy, product design, and engineering, along with user research and supply chain knowledge, helping teams work together to bring new ideas to life—even if it's their first time developing a physical product.
Tomorrow Lab® offers an extensive range of services, all gathered in one place. They provide design strategy, rapid prototyping, user research, and comprehensive mechanical and electrical engineering. TL's combined, end-to-end approach means they can cover capabilities such as Mechanical Engineering (ME), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Industrial Design (ID), allowing teams to handle new technologies, novel features, and idea generation. By offering so many solutions, TL helps companies reduce risk and disruption, enabling a faster, more affordable, and higher-quality product in the long run.
This in-house, all-in-one approach sets Tomorrow Lab® apart from many of their competitors. Because they combine design and engineering with prototyping, TL is essential to organizations across the tech startup and VC landscape, as well as to global corporate innovation teams.
Bridging the Innovation Gap
Product teams in hardware technology often face obstacles such as insufficient in-house resources, the risks of developing and testing new technology, and long development cycles. Tomorrow Lab® helps bridge this manufacturing gap by offering hardware expertise, established product development & testing systems, and flexible team support when internal resources aren't enough.
The studio can also strengthen in-house teams through invention training and procedures learned and refined from building more than 100 products over 15 years.
When Tomorrow Lab® takes on tasks such as hands-on prototyping and scalability planning, it ensures its clients' focus is on creating new products. They speed up new product development with 1. Guided idea generation, 2. A quick path to prototyping, and 3. A proven four-phase holistic innovation sprint. This is designed to generate valuable intellectual property—such as patents and know-how—for their clients.
Tech-Forward
With the growth of connected devices, Internet of Things (IoT), and more sustainable hardware, it's crucial that new ideas get off the concept board and move into reality, where they can make a difference. Tomorrow Lab® lets product teams explore and navigate new technologies and features, all while reducing risk and getting products to market faster.
