A shortlist of vetted factories
Internally vetted factory references matched to your product, drawn from the 5,000+ we have screened. Not a scraped contact list — the specific few that can actually build this.
Factory Match Call
Get the factory direction right before you send money.
One hour with a Shenzhen-based sourcing lead. Within one to two business days you get a written shortlist of vetted factories, indicative pricing at your quantity, and the risks that will cost you money if you miss them. $299 against a mistake that usually costs five figures.
Who this is for
For buyers who need direction before introductions
01
You have a product concept or reference product but do not know which factory type to target.
02
You have supplier quotes or samples but need an independent view before paying a deposit.
03
Your product combines electronics, firmware, tooling, packaging, or several specialist suppliers.
04
You need a realistic sourcing plan before moving into verification, sampling, or bulk production.
Before the call
What buyers submit
01
Product description, reference links, specifications, and current development stage
02
Target quantity, target market, target price, available budget, and timeline

Existing quotes, samples, supplier status, file links, and the concerns you want reviewed
During the 60 minutes
Work through the sourcing decision, not a sales presentation
- 01 / Diagnose
Review feasibility
Separate standard production from custom engineering, tooling, testing, and compliance work.
- 02 / Challenge
Test assumptions
Review supplier claims, quotations, samples, quantities, target pricing, and the largest open risks.
- 03 / Prioritize
Choose next actions
Decide what to verify, sample, negotiate, or change before the project moves forward.
What you receive
Clarity you can act on
Indicative pricing
A realistic unit cost range at your target quantity, so you can tell the difference between a good quote and a quote that will be revised upward later.
Written risk assessment
Commercial, technical, quality, tooling, and compliance risks, ranked by what will cost you the most money if it goes wrong.
A next-step plan
Prioritised actions for verification, sampling, negotiation, or managed production — including the honest answer when the next step is to stop.
What this call is not
You are buying a short list, not a long one
For $299 you get judgement — which factory type, which specific candidates, at what realistic price, with which risks. What you are not buying is a scraped export of a thousand supplier contacts.
Anyone can sell you a list of a thousand factories. That is the problem, not the solution. The value here is the 4,997 we already ruled out — and being told plainly when the honest next step is to change the product, change the target price, or not place the order at all.
What buyers say
Worth more than the hour it took
“I had three quotes and no way to tell which one was real. One call and it turned out two of them were trading companies reselling the same workshop. That hour saved me a deposit I would not have got back.”
“What I actually paid for was being told my target price was impossible at that spec. Nobody else was willing to say it. We changed the design instead of finding out at tooling.”
