I don't want to be your permanent agent, and you shouldn't want one anyway. I teach hardware founders how to balance precise European engineering with scaled Asian manufacturing — handing you the direct supplier keys so you can scale independently.
Agents keep supplier names hidden, markup unit costs by 15-40%, and sue if you try to go direct.
Assuming everything must be made in China from Day 1, leading to massive upfront tooling costs and slow NPI cycles.
I map the partner types you need, the run sizes that fit, and the collaboration model that matches your company stage — then introduce you to the right factories and step away.
I've built hardware products internationally. ChinaSourcerer is the playbook I wish I'd had earlier — now offered to other hardware founders walking the same path.
Based in Belgium with regular time on the ground in China and beyond. Working in English, French, Dutch, and some Mandarin.
This is a one-person operation by design. You work with me directly. Bandwidth is limited; intent is high.
I don't want you to rely on me forever. I provide the mentorship, strategic structure, and deep factory introductions so that your team can run your global operations internally.
Too many hardware startups waste thousands of Euros and months of time selecting the wrong geographic base for their specific stage of growth.
Best for Agility, Prototyping & compliance
Best for Tooling, Cost & Scale
Three transparent tiers designed to meet you exactly where your hardware product stands today.
A quick conversation to understand where you are and which engagement makes sense — no commitment.
Low-Barrier Strategy Session
Bring your product brief, target volumes, and the sourcing questions keeping you up. We'll spend 60 minutes mapping the partner types you need (factory direct, OEM, ODM, trading house), the run sizes that fit your stage, and how to split the work between Europe and Asia.
The Complete Hardware Playbook
An intensive curriculum mapping out my hardware playbook — factory evaluation, negotiation, QA, logistics. Launching when there's enough demand. Join the waitlist to be first in line.
1-Week Intensive in China
I handle the trip logistics — arranging factory visits, accommodation, and transport between locations — so you can focus on the meetings, the conversations, and building the relationships. I'm alongside you on the factory floor, but the negotiations and the contracts are yours.
