Did you have experience in hardware before this? Do you think that experience building hardware products is a pre-requisite to starting a hardware company?

Yes. I've had about 10 years working in hardware. Some of those years were at other startup companies.

Experience helps, but as in most endeavors, is not required. You gain experience by doing.

The most important thing you can do is get started and figure it out as you go.
