Work with us

Shenzhen Entry
Consulting

Ground level support for overseas founders building in Shenzhen before you commit time or money to the wrong things.

Most overseas founders arrive in Shenzhen with a product idea and not much else. No reliable local partners, no clear path from conversation to execution, and no way to tell who's worth trusting.

The ecosystem is dense, fast-moving, and difficult to navigate without the right people around you. The wrong introduction or a wasted trip can set a project back by months.

We help overseas founders and teams get oriented and moving quickly, the right co-development partners, the right investor introductions, and the right local context before you commit time or money to the wrong things.

What a consulting engagement covers

  1. 01

    Structured conversation

    We start by understanding your product, team, timeline, and actual goals.

  2. 02

    Honest assessment

    A clear picture of realistic next steps in Shenzhen's ecosystem, no sugarcoating.

  3. 03

    Warm introductions

    Matched to your specific situation, not a generic vendor list.

  4. 04

    Ongoing support

    We stay involved as decisions develop and things get moving.

Why us

We've spent years inside Shenzhen's hardware and manufacturing ecosystem, building relationships with engineers, co-development teams, investors, and operators who don't appear at trade shows or on vendor lists. We understand how things actually work on the ground, and we know who to trust.

HereInShenzhen and the Build in Shenzhen interview series exist because of that same access: direct conversations with the people building real things in this city. That network is what we bring to every client engagement.
