About

Built by Builders

Founded in 2017 by serial product entrepreneur Colin Guinn with partners Oren Schauble and Craig Nehrkorn, Guinn Partners started as a small go-to-market agency and grew into an Austin-based contract engineering powerhouse.

Today the team includes 40+ engineers across mechanical, electrical, embedded systems, software, and industrial design. Deep talent, nimble operations, and a “hacker mentality” for solving the most challenging problems in prototyping and design-for-manufacturing.

We’ve also built our own products — most notably Gel Blaster, which went from internal prototype to $75M in sales in 2022, and Moontower, our proprietary fleet management platform for smart-battery devices.
