How it works for factories
01 — Apply

Submit your factory profile

Tell us your location, product categories, lines you specialise in, MOQ range, and lead times. We review and verify before listing you in the network.

02 — Get matched

Receive scored, spec-ready leads

When a founder configures a product that matches your capability, you appear in their factory shortlist with a match score. They reach out with a full brief — no speculation, no back-and-forth to understand the spec.

03 — Quote and sample

Go straight to sampling

You receive a tech pack you can quote from immediately. No discovery calls. No spec refinement loop. The hard part is already done — your job is to price it and produce it.

What comes with every 1st product brief
📐
Tech Pack

Full component spec — materials, construction method, tolerances, stitching notes, hardware list. Formatted to factory standard.

📊
P&L / Costing

Target FOB, landed cost assumptions, and retail price expectations. The founder knows their numbers before they approach you.

Compliance Notes

Target market labelling and testing requirements already flagged. No surprises on certification or import compliance.

📏
Size Spec

Graded measurement points and tolerance table for the size run. QC-ready from day one.

📦
