Who it's for

American consumer brands and importers that manufacture products overseas.

Founders

Edward Haryono
Founder/CEO

I'm CEO of Saudara AI, an AI sourcing broker connecting US brands with international manufacturers. In 5 months, we've sourced $1M+ for 40+ brands. Sourcing is won by whoever has trust on both sides of the trade lane, and almost nobody does. I grew up in Indonesia in a family with 50 years in retail and logistics, giving Saudara supplier access competitors can't replicate. I spent 5 years at Amazon in procurement, working with buyers who are Saudara's customers today. Master's from Duke.

My family has 50+ years in Indonesian textile manufacturing, giving Saudara supplier access competitors cannot replicate, and my channel @jenandtech (100K+ followers) drives compounding inbound.
