Good ideas should get a chance to prove themselves before their makers have to buy a factory.

The idea
Put idle capacity to work.
Starting a physical business can mean paying for tools, space, and specialized help before you know if customers want what you make. Meanwhile, useful equipment across the Valley sits idle between jobs. TSCHECH Pool aims to connect those two sides for small, practical trials.
Try a production run
Locate kitchen time, workshop space, or room to stage a short project.
Borrow know-how
Work with an experienced operator when specialized machinery calls for one.
How we hope to start
One useful connection at a time.
01
Tell us what you need or have.
Describe the equipment, space, service, or skill—and the kind of project it could support.
02
We look for a fit.
We explore whether a local connection makes sense, including timing, supervision, and practical requirements.
03
Test the idea.
When both sides agree on terms, the maker can run a small experiment and learn what to build next.
