From getting semiconductors and hardware built in Taiwan to board-level technology strategy. Semiconductors and displays first, then AI and robotics, optics and sensing, advanced materials. What sits under all of it: fifteen years of relationships you can't buy.
For foreign startups with a funded hardware roadmap: Taiwan mapped by layer, suppliers assessed, and your bill of materials taken to houses that may quote at low volume.

Explore →Most supply-chain advice stops at the country, which is not enough once you have a bill of materials. The ODMs everyone can name are built for volume, and a first run of fifty units usually falls below their minimum. Underneath them sits a deeper bench of houses with similar equipment and little marketing. Many will consider a run that size when the spec is clear and the introduction comes from someone they know. Making that introduction, and preparing both sides for it, is the work we do.
