Stop burning time on Alibaba and trade show cold outreach. I find the right factory for your product — vetted, introduced over WeChat, and ready to quote.
Tell me what you're building, your target unit cost, MOQ, certifications needed, and timeline. One call or a short intake form.
I pull from 18 years of relationships in Guangdong and Jiangsu. I shortlist 3–5 suppliers who actually match your product and production volume.
I make direct introductions over WeChat and email. You walk in as a referred contact, not a cold inquiry from a foreign stranger.
Anyone can scrape Alibaba. What you can't buy is knowing which factory actually hits deadlines, which sales rep will disappear after sampling, and who to call when something goes wrong at the line.
I've spent 18 years in hardware — and years on the ground in Shenzhen and Guangdong visiting factories, negotiating contracts, managing supplier relationships for one of Europe's largest hardware fleets. I wrote the book on hardware product development. Literally.
