Curious about China or India? Explore the sourcing trips
Passport, notebook, big ideas

Come for the factories. Leave with a whole lot more.

There's a big difference between finding a supplier online and walking through the place where your products could actually be made.

Our sourcing trips take small groups of product founders to China and India to meet manufacturers, explore trade fairs and markets, ask better questions and discover opportunities you don't always see from behind a screen.

I bring the product-business experience. Our local team brings the on-ground relationships and logistics. You bring your ideas, your questions and a willingness to get curious.

These aren't ordinary shopping trips. They're designed around practical business opportunities, useful introductions and learning how manufacturing works firsthand.

From past trip participants
In just one week, I found manufacturers for five products and gained insights, connections and momentum that would have taken months, if not years, to achieve on my own.
Kate Purtle · China Sourcing Trip
Kristy has an incredible ability to connect all the dots, taking away the hard work and making the entire experience flow seamlessly. She doesn’t simply help you find the right suppliers, she creates the opportunity to meet them face-to-face, visit their factories, understand how they work and meet the people behind the product.
