Tldr; We are officially opening our Sponsorship Programme for Makerspaces, FabLabs, and Hardware Community Hubs! In this cooperation we provide a starting sponsorship budget of €500 per year for PCBs. On top of that, we include vouchers for your members. Let’s make hardware less hard 
Why Partner with AISLER for Your Hardware Hub?
AISLER operates an agile fab-less model with certified manufacturing partners in Europe. For you and your members, this means your projects meet true industrial standards. At the same time, you benefit from short lead times and zero customs hassle within the EU.
The Hardware Sponsorship Package
Our community hub partnership is designed to provide PCBs for your workshops and projects:
- Annual Project Budget: Sponsored hubs receive a Store Credit of €500 per year to cover the costs of Beautiful Boards (bare PCBs), stencils and the shipment.
- Vouchers & Swag: We provide unique AISLER coupon codes. Your members can use these to easily replicate your reference designs. Additionally, we’ll deck out your lab with stickers and handy quick-start guides for your next soldering workshops. We’ll check together with you, what’s useful for you.
Which Criteria Do You Need to Fulfil?
- Active Hardware Community: You run an active Makerspace, FabLab, or Hackerspace.
- Technical Focus: Your hub provides deep technical value in electronics design.
How Does the Application Process Work?
- Get in Touch: Contact our Developer Relations Team with a brief technical summary of your space’s current projects and a link to your website.
- Agreement: Once we agree on the sponsorship terms, you will create an account, and we will load your account with Store Credit.
How Does Store Credit Work?
We provide the sponsorship via Store Credit. This works like a virtual debit card linked directly to your account. It allows you to order boards whenever you need them, without the hassle of manual approvals for every single PCB revision. This makes the workflow much faster and more agile for both sides.
- Usage: Store Credit is primarily intended for Beautiful Boards (PCBs), Stencils, and shipping.
- Amazing Assembly: Sponsorship for fully assembled boards (PCBA) is generally an exception and must be negotiated separately with our team.
What Do We Expect in Return?
- Logo Placement:
Place the AISLER logo on the silkscreen of your sponsored PCBs (simply use our hassle-free placeholder method in your EDA tool). - Website Backlink:
Mention AISLER as an official sponsor on your lab’s website with a direct backlink. - Spread the Word:
We’d love it if you mentioned us as your manufacturing partner when talking about your electronics and PCBs at your hub or during events. - Community Showcase:
Create at least one post in our Creative Community under the Show & Tell category. Present your hub and show off one of your projects, created with our PCBs.
