We didn't just find these factories — we grew up in them. Now, we're building the bridge between Silicon Valley's data-driven logic and our family's industrial legacy.
We met in Silicon Valley, both working as software engineers at some of the world's most demanding tech companies. But our paths started much earlier — in the factory floors of Wenzhou, China.
By day, we architect complex distributed systems and optimize for scale. We've learned to think in terms of efficiency, transparency, and continuous improvement. These aren't just engineering principles — they're the foundation of how we approach global manufacturing.
By heritage, we're factory kids. Our families have been building manufacturing businesses for generations. We understand production lines, quality control, and the real challenges of cross-border trade — because we've lived them.
We didn't just find these factories, we grew up in them.
As software engineers, we saw a gap: the world's best manufacturing was often disconnected from the speed and transparency required by modern American businesses.
We bring Silicon Valley's data-driven approach to cross-border trade. AI-powered tracking, transparent pricing, and predictive logistics — eliminating the traditional "black box" of international sourcing.
We're not just importers. We're building toward Made in USA capability, with plans for domestic assembly and warehousing to complement our China manufacturing network.
Headquarters in Northern California means same-timezone communication, contracts under US law, and a partner who picks up the phone. No midnight calls to China — we handle that.
