The Problem
Your board wants you to deploy capital. Your burn rate is "concerning." You need manufacturing partners, office space, hardware prototypes—but you're stuck in SF googling "Shenzhen factory tours."
We've spent 4 years building relationships with the factories, landlords, and operators who actually move the needle. Skip the learning curve. Spend faster. Ship sooner.
Programs
Pick the program that matches your burn rate goals.
7 days across Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. Meet the factories. Find your manufacturing partner. See why "designed in California, made in Shenzhen" still works.
$8,500 / person, all-inclusive
You raised. Now you need a real office, not a WeWork hot desk. We handle lease negotiation, buildout, furniture, IT—you just show up.
$25,000 / engagement
Concept to 100 units in 6 weeks. Our Shenzhen team manages the entire process—you focus on product-market fit.
$50,000 / sprint + unit costs
"I used to come back to China for family. Now I come for an additional reason: for China itself."
Coco is an American-Chinese entrepreneur who spent four years building a city in Nigeria before returning to Shenzhen. She grew up straddling both worlds—20 summers in Beijing, educated in the US.
She runs our China Deep Dive because she understands what Western founders actually need: not tourist-friendly campus tours, but real access to decision-makers. The factory owners. The VCs. The founders building things you won't see for another 5 years.
Hardware innovation at software speed. That's Shenzhen. That's what you'll see.
Process
From application to deployment in 3 steps.
Tell us about your company, your raise, and what you need to deploy capital on. We review within 48 hours.
We match you to the right program and cohort. You'll meet your peer group before the program starts.
Execute the program. Leave with manufacturing partners, office keys, or prototypes in hand. Burn rate optimized.
Programs are invite-only and cohort-based. We keep groups small (8-12 people) so everyone gets real access, not a group tour experience.
