The San Francisco hardware platform secured early backing via Afore's residency program.
Makeable, a San Francisco-based developer of an AI-powered design and manufacturing platform for physical products, raised $1 million in seed funding led by Afore Capital, according to an announcement published on Nov. 4, 2026 [1].
The company was established by founder Mohammed Khambhati alongside co-founder Raymond Ng [1]. To build the business, Khambhati relocated across the Pacific from Singapore to San Francisco after gaining acceptance into Afore Capital's Founders in Residence accelerator program [1]. The initiative provided the early-stage venture with seed capital as well as mentorship resources designed to ease the founding team's operational transition to the Bay Area [1].
Makeable operates at the intersection of machine learning and hardware engineering, building software intended to assist teams in streamlining physical product design and industrial manufacturing workflows [1]. Afore Capital served as the sole disclosed institutional investor backing the $1 million capitalization [1].
Addressing the rapid tactical iterations and major operational choices required during early venture creation, Khambhati stated that "If you want to do something extraordinary, you probably have to make some decisions" [1].
