<br>Experienced product designer and entrepreneur Ben Einstein is part of a team in Boston looking to give hardware start-ups their fair share of the glory. Bolt, a new accelerator program that Einstein cofounded, aims to be a tool kit for hardware start-ups rather than for software and Web-services companies—popular draws for talent and investment that in the current environment have more support at their disposal. Einstein recently spoke to EDN about what Bolt is, what types of young companies it is looking for, and why the focus is on hardware.<br>
