Sourcing without
the guesswork.
Every factory on Found Her Supply has verified ownership, documented certifications, and a real founder behind the door. Three-round blind inspections. Direct access. Zero hidden markup -- from your very first inquiry.
Three steps from browse
to first conversation.
No anonymous listings. No guessing who you're talking to. Every step is designed so you know exactly who's on the other side of the order.
Meet the Founder
Browse verified factory profiles. Every listing shows the founder's name, ownership documentation, and the certifications that belong specifically to that factory -- not platform-wide marketing language.
Check the Record
Review each factory's MOQ, sample lead time, certification expiry dates, and three-round blind inspection records. The information is there to verify -- not to impress.
Talk to the Person in Charge
Connect directly with the factory founder to discuss pricing, timelines, and customization. No hidden intermediary. No markup inserted between you and your supplier.
Why "verified" means
something here.
"Women-led" and "sustainable" are easy words to put on a listing. We built a four-layer standard so buyers can check every claim -- not just trust it.
Real Ownership
Every factory profile is backed by ownership documentation. We verify who actually owns and runs the business -- not just who answers the phone.
Valid Certifications
Certifications displayed belong to that specific factory, with expiry dates and audit records. No platform-wide "sustainable" badges. No femwashing.
Three Blind Audits
A structured, three-round blind inspection process before and during production. Documented. Repeatable. Not a one-time pass.
Public Accountability
Factories are listed under their real founder's name. Inquiry numbers are tracked (FHS-YYYYMMDD-XXXX). Factories that fail standards are removed from the platform.
The sourcing route
makes all the difference.
Most sourcing platforms insert themselves between you and the factory -- marking up prices, obscuring ownership, and making you dependent on their access. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Trading Company Route
Common todayNot recommended for buyers who want a supply chain they can stand behind.
- Anonymous factory listings -- no founder name, no ownership record
- Platform-wide "sustainable" or "women-led" badges with no audit trail
- Hidden markup inserted between your price and the factory's actual quote
- Middleman controls communication -- you never reach the factory directly
- Certifications are unverified or belong to the trading company, not the maker
- No structured QC process -- quality is a promise, not a documented procedure
- Small accounts are deprioritized -- you're a number, not a relationship
Direct-to-Founder Route
Direct & verified- Real founder name and ownership documentation on every profile
- Factory-specific certifications with expiry dates and audit records
- Zero hidden markup -- you negotiate the factory's actual price directly
- Direct communication with the factory founder from inquiry to production
- Three-round blind inspection documented before and during every production run
- Inquiry tracking -- every submission gets a reference number (FHS-YYYYMMDD-XXXX)
- Built for long-term relationships -- not one-off marketplace transactions
Why this matters: When you source through Found Her Supply, you know the factory's real name, real certifications, and real founder -- so you can talk about your supply chain publicly with confidence.
Send InquiryHow Found Her Supply earns -- transparently
Found Her Supply charges partner factories a transparent listing fee and a disclosed commission on matched orders. We never insert ourselves as an undisclosed middleman between buyer and factory, and we never take possession of goods. Buyers pay the factory directly -- what you negotiate is what you pay.
Everything you need to
source with confidence.
Found Her Supply is a verification and connection platform -- not a trading company. These are the services we provide to help you find, evaluate, and build a relationship with the right factory.
Supplier Matching & Sourcing Support
Submit your inquiry and receive a curated shortlist of 3-5 verified, women-led factories matched to your category, MOQ, and timeline -- within one business day.
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 development, material selection, and sample coordination -- working directly with the factory, not through an intermediary.
Logistics Support
Guidance on shipping, documentation, and export logistics -- so the path from factory to your door is as clear as the factory profile itself.
Inquiry Tracking
Every inquiry submitted through Found Her Supply receives a unique reference number (FHS-YYYYMMDD-XXXX). You can track the status of your match from submission to introduction.
Founder-Story Media
Each verified factory profile includes the founder's story -- who they are, how they built the business, and what they stand for. Because a supply chain you can name publicly starts with knowing who's behind it.
