Living in Shenzhen 🇨🇳 Product Maker 💡 Supply Chain Expert 🔗 China Sourcing 🏭 Consultant 🔧 Shenzhen City Leader at Founders Running Club 🏃

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I flew 20 hours from San Diego to Shenzhen for one reason: to find the right factory.

A lot of people think getting a product made starts with a Google search or an Alibaba listing. In my experience it starts much earlier, with someone on the ground who knows which factories are worth visiting.

That’s Mert, our sourcing agent here in Shenzhen. Before Canton Fair even started, we sat down and mapped out which suppliers to see in person, so the fair isn’t just walking aisles hoping something clicks.

Over the next few days I’ll share what this process actually looks like: how to find a factory for your product, the red flags I watch for, and some of the food and tech I’m finding along the way.

If you’ve ever had a product idea and wondered who could actually make it, this series is for you.

Starting something different, gathering new people for something simple, for something meaningful. Starting Founders Running Club Shenzhen chapter was one of the best things I did in 2025. I feel grateful for everyone who is joining our weekly runs and coffee talks. Great people, great minds, great vibe 🫶 @frcshenzhen @foundersrc taken in 深圳人才公園 by @mrtbltt
