HAX by SOSV (Hardware)

HAX by SOSV is a pre-seed hardware accelerator and venture capital program administered by SOSV in partnership with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA). Operating from a 35,000-square-foot facility in Newark, the six-month residency provides founders with up to $550,000 in initial funding, alongside direct access to in-house engineers, machine shops, and manufacturing expertise. The initiative collaborates with institutions like Princeton University, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and Audible to support technological development in sectors such as industrial decarbonization, advanced robotics, and critical minerals. Backed by SOSV's $306 million deep tech fund, the program has graduated over 58 companies that subsequently raised more than $60 million in venture capital. This resource is designed for inception-stage deep tech founders requiring capital, specialized laboratory infrastructure, and supply chain guidance to transition physical prototypes into scalable commercial products.
