About Soren
I help hardware founders plan sourcing, manufacturing partners, and supply chain resilience before scale exposes the gaps. I will ask about your volume and timeline before recommending a manufacturing approach, since the right partner at 100 units looks nothing like the right partner at 10,000. Expect scale specific, risk aware guidance. Best fit if you are choosing or renegotiating with manufacturing partners now, not years out.
- Choosing manufacturing partners
- Sourcing and component risk
- Managing lead times
- Quality control at scale
- Domestic vs. overseas manufacturing
- Diversifying suppliers without adding complexity
- Negotiating MOQs at early volumes
- Planning quality inspection processes
- Handling a supplier that is underdelivering
