A trust layer for sourcing
from women-led
factories.
Found Her Supply is a China-based, women-founder-led B2B sourcing platform. We verify the ownership and certifications of women-led factories and trade companies -- then connect global buyers directly to them. No anonymous listings. No hidden markup. No femwashing. We compete on verification, transparency, and story.
Why we built
Found Her Supply.
Most sourcing platforms give buyers an anonymous directory. You see a factory name, a product photo, a minimum order quantity -- and a "women-led" or "sustainable" badge that nobody has verified. That's femwashing. It's marketing language dressed up as a credential, and buyers who care about their supply chain story are the ones who pay the price.
We built Found Her Supply because the problem isn't a shortage of factories -- it's a shortage of checkable facts. Every partner factory on our platform has gone through ownership verification. Every certification displayed belongs to that specific factory, not to us. Buyers can see who they're actually sourcing from: a real founder, a real story, real audited credentials.
And because we never insert ourselves as a hidden middleman, buyers negotiate directly with the factory. Our business model is transparent: a factory listing fee and a disclosed commission. Nothing added in the dark.
"We are not the cheapest sourcing option, and we are not a trading company. We compete on verification, transparency, and story."
- China-based, women-founder-led -- the platform itself is built by the people it advocates for.
- Starting with handbags and leather goods -- expanding into accessories, textiles, and home goods.
- Serving North America, Europe, and a growing Latin America base -- buyers building long-term supplier relationships.
A full sourcing support system --
not just a directory.
Found Her Supply pairs verified factory access with hands-on sourcing support. Here's what we coordinate for buyers.
Supplier Matching & Sourcing Support
We match buyers with verified, women-led factories that fit their product category, MOQ, and timeline -- not an algorithm, a curated process.
Quality Control Coordination
We coordinate the three-round blind inspection process -- pre-production, during production, and pre-shipment -- so quality is checked, not just promised.
Customization & Sample Development
Support for private label and custom product development -- from spec sheets to samples -- working directly with the factory's own team.
Logistics Support
Guidance on shipping, documentation, and export coordination -- so the path from factory floor to your warehouse is clear and manageable.
Founder-Story Media
Each partner factory profile includes the founder's real story -- so buyers can publicly talk about who they source from, not just what they source.
Verification & Auditing
Ownership documentation and certification auditing for every partner factory -- so the credentials on a profile are that factory's own, not a platform-wide claim.
Built for buyers who want a supply chain they can put their name behind.
Our buyers come to us because they've been burned by unverifiable claims on big marketplaces -- and because they want a supplier they can talk about publicly. They're building long-term relationships, not placing one-off orders.
-
Independent & DTC Brand Founders Building private label lines and want a supplier story they can share with their own customers.
-
Procurement & Sourcing Managers Tired of anonymous listings and unverifiable "sustainable" or "women-led" badges on big platforms.
-
Brand & Product Development Managers Coordinating customization and sample development who need a factory that communicates directly and reliably.
-
Importers & Boutique Retailers Who want a supplier with a real founder, a real story, and credentials they can check -- not a faceless listing.
-
Long-Term Relationship Builders Buyers who aren't looking for the cheapest one-off order -- they're building a supply chain they'll stand behind for years.
Three things we don't
compromise on.
You've seen "women-led" and "sustainable" used as marketing claims with nothing behind them. We built Found Her Supply to make those words checkable -- not just claimable.
Verified ownership.
Not just a claim.
Every factory profile is backed by ownership documentation. Certifications displayed are the factory's own audited credentials -- not platform-wide marketing language. We call it anti-femwashing. If a factory can't show the paperwork, it doesn't appear on our platform.
Three-round blind
inspection. Every time.
Quality isn't a promise here -- it's a structured process. Partner factories go through a repeatable, three-round inspection before and during production. Blind. Consistent. Documented. The same standard applies to every production run, not just the first one.
Direct to factory.
Zero hidden markup.
You negotiate directly with the factory. Found Her Supply earns through a transparent listing fee and a disclosed commission model -- never by inserting itself as an undisclosed middleman between you and your supplier. We are not a trading company and do not take possession of goods.
What "verified" actually
means on this platform.
Every partner factory goes through four checkable standards before appearing on Found Her Supply. These are not platform-wide claims -- they belong to each individual factory.
Real Ownership
We verify that the factory or trade company is majority-owned and actively led by a woman founder -- through documentation review, not self-declaration.
Valid Certifications
Any certification displayed on a factory profile is that factory's own audited credential -- current, traceable, and not a platform-wide marketing claim applied to all listings.
Three Blind Audits
Partner factories go through a structured, repeatable three-round inspection process -- pre-production, during production, and pre-shipment. Blind. Consistent. Documented every time.
Public Accountability
Every factory profile includes the founder's real name and story. If a factory can't put a face behind the door, it doesn't belong on this platform -- and we hold ourselves to the same standard.
How we got here.
The founding idea.
Found Her Supply begins as a response to a clear gap: global buyers want to source from women-led factories, but have no reliable way to verify who actually owns and runs them. The concept of a verification-first sourcing platform takes shape.
Building the verification framework.
The ownership verification process, certification auditing standards, and three-round blind inspection protocol are developed and tested. The platform's anti-femwashing principles are formalized -- certifications belong to the factory, not the platform.
First verified factories go live.
The first cohort of verified, women-led partner factories launches on the platform -- starting with handbags and leather goods. Buyers in North America and Europe begin sourcing directly through Found Her Supply.
Expanding categories and regions.
Found Her Supply expands into accessories, textiles, and home goods -- bringing the same verification and direct-access model to new product categories, and deepening its buyer base across North America, Europe, and Latin America.
Ready to source with a supply chain you can put your name behind?
Found Her Supply connects you directly with verified, women-led factories -- with the ownership documentation, certifications, and founder stories to back it up. No hidden markup. No anonymous listings.
