Hey everyone, I'm Alex, the founder of Revolution Studios and I'm thrilled to introduce this project to the Product Hunt community. This venture was born from months of sitting idle at my 9 to 5, for a tier 1 automotive supplier. As I watched the clock tick away, I thought how expensive it is for a business to have employees without work—salaries, benefits, 401k, supplies, and more. It's no surprise when industry giants like Ford, GM, and Stellantis resort to massive layoffs during the slower seasons. On the other end, we see eager EV startups bring new innovative ideas to the industry. Yet, all too often, they find themselves short on funds before they can truly make their mark. Design alone can cost a pretty penny, with suppliers charging upwards of $100 per hour. Now, picture 40 hours weeks, 2 to 4 designers, the numbers quickly spiral out of control. Revolution Studios was born from my belief that there had to be a better way to tackle these industry issues. Our mission is twofold: -First, by offering a platform to engage top-tier automotive designers on demand, eliminating the burden of idle employees and excessive costs. Also with our subscription, you can pause and resume as often as you need ensuring you're only paying when there is work to be done. -Second, we're here to empower the growing community of startups, ensuring they can channel their resources into innovation rather than draining budgets on design expenses. It's about leveling the playing field, so groundbreaking ideas can flourish without constraints. Revolution Studios isn't just a business; it's a revolution in itself, and I'm thrilled to have you all along for the ride as we drive change and innovation in the automotive landscape. This project is a unique here on Product Hunt, and I'm eager to hear your thoughts. Your feedback and support would mean the world to me!

Congratulations on launching Revolution Studios @alexrs !!! Your project tackles a significant challenge in the automotive industry and provides an innovative solution to connect top-tier automotive designers with businesses in need. I'm curious to know more about how Revolution Studios ensures the quality and expertise of the designers on your platform? What metrics do you use to determine qualified prospects?
Alex Zapata
@dzaitzow great question! This is something I’m working through now. The quality of our designs is very important to us. I’ve recently just hired a second senior level designer. This has help me, having a second set of eyes on each part before being sent out, is essential. In the future i would like to step back from design and focus on quality of the CAD models being sent out, assuring any issue are caught before being delivered to a customer.
Daniel Zaitzow
@alexrs That makes sense - I am sure you are having to cover all the gaps at the onset.

Big fan of turning 9 to 5 daydreams into revolutionary ideas! :) The whole "only paying when there's work to be done" concept? Genius. Helping startups save their pennies while pushing innovation? Even better. Quick one: How do you vet the car-designing wizards you get on board?
Alex Zapata
@mocarg originally the plan was just to have myself as the only designer but saw the work load becoming too much for one person to handle. I hired a second designer, not to long ago, and we went through a normal, to the industry, interview process. Involves passing a CAD test and meeting experience level I was looking for.

Customizing cars has as much pricing opacity as web applications, so this seems like it would make users happy.
Alex Zapata
Thank you for the feedback! Yes , so far pricing has been the leading reason for clients booking the first call.

automotive means cars and trucks etc.

What a cool concept! I can see this tool shortening the design process and making it easier.
Alex Zapata
@steph_menji yes, it’s more efficient while saving you tons of money
