Your Guide in China, Not Just Another Agent
I FOUNDED START UPS SA BECAUSE I BELIEVED NO STARTUP SHOULD HAVE TO GAMBLE THEIR PRECIOUS CAPITAL ON ALIBABA GUESSWORK.
"My journey as a sourcing expert began on the other side of the table—as a frustrated business owner. Running my clothing line, Pulido Fashions, I relied on a single Chinese supplier I found online around 2012. The website never updated its styles, only its prices.
Placing an order felt like playing Russian roulette with my capital. I'd wait weeks, only to open boxes filled with items that were poorly sized, shoddily constructed, or simply not what I ordered. That cycle of disappointment and financial loss is a feeling I'll never forget. It's also the driving force behind my mission: to ensure no startup founder has to experience that same guesswork and risk."
When I moved to China, I saw the other side of the coin: thousands of incredible, honest manufacturers who were just as frustrated by unreliable international buyers. I realised the problem wasn't a lack of good suppliers; it was a lack of trust and bridges.
That's when I knew my mission was to become that bridge."
Why Work With Me?
· I Live Here, So You Don't Have To: My physical presence in China means I can visit a factory unannounced, build face-to-face relationships with factory managers, and be on the production line within hours if an issue arises. A remote agent can't do that.
· I Speak the Language: I bridge the language gap and, more importantly, the cultural and business practice gap. I know how to negotiate firmly but respectfully to get you the best terms.
· I'm a Partner to Startups, Specifically: I understand your constraints. You're agile, budget-conscious, and your brand reputation is everything.
Beyond Sourcing: I'm Invested in Your Launch
" I believe that your success is my success. When I take you on as a client, I'm not just fulfilling an order; I'm partnering in the launch of your dream. I ask the tough questions, I play devil's advocate on your designs, and I celebrate your launch day as if it were my own.
My greatest satisfaction comes from getting that text from a client: 'The products just arrived, and they're perfect. Thank you for making this so easy.'
That is the feeling I want every startup founder to experience."
