Co-Created by Creators

Designed by the People Who Use It

Most gear companies design in a vacuum. Tyo builds alongside its community. Every pre-order member has a voice in what ships — colors, features, accessories, everything.

Old Way vs. Tyo Way

How gear usually gets designed vs. how we do it

Traditional Gear Companies

  • Product manager picks features in a boardroom
  • Marketing team chooses 2-3 "safe" colors
  • Accessories are afterthoughts sold for margin
  • Customer feedback arrives after production
  • Next version ships in 3-5 years
vs

Tyo Community Model

  • Pre-order members vote on features
  • Community picks colorways that actually ship
  • Accessory roadmap is community-prioritized
  • Feedback shapes the product before it's built
  • Continuous improvement driven by real users
What You Influence

Three domains of community control

Design & Aesthetics

Colorways, finishes, and visual identity. The community votes on what the product looks like. No focus groups — real users making real choices.

Features & Functionality

Power output, latch mechanisms, drawer configurations. Members submit ideas and engineering evaluates feasibility. The best ideas ship.

Accessory Ecosystem

Which modules get built first? Lens drawers or audio compartments? Monitor mounts or lighting rigs? The community sets priorities.

Future Roadmap

The product doesn't freeze at launch. Community input continues to shape updates, new modules, and the long-term evolution of the system.

FAQ

Co-creation questions

What does community-designed mean?
Every pre-order member has direct input on development. The community votes on colorways, suggests features, and decides which accessories get built first. Co-creation, not a suggestion box.
How is this different from crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding sells a finished concept. Tyo is building alongside its community. Members don't just fund — they shape what ships.
Do I need design experience to participate?
No. You need opinions about your gear. Know what frustrates you about current cases? What features you wish existed? That's the expertise that matters.
What if the community votes for something I don't want?
Votes determine which options become available, not what goes on your build. You always choose from the approved options during your build specialist call.
