Founders waste months (and thousands of dollars) following sourcing advice that wasn't designed for their product development personality.

Someone who's already making products by hand spends weeks learning "sourcing 101" when they really need factory transition strategies.

A first-timer contacts manufacturers without proper vetting and ends up with a $10K lesson in what NOT to do.

An experienced founder expanding into new categories assumes their current sourcing style will work—and picks completely the wrong supplier type.

Different product development personalities require different sourcing strategies.

 

WHAT WE'VE LEARNED AFTER HELPING 200+ FOUNDERS

After launching 500+ products at companies like Abercrombie & Fitch, we've noticed a clear pattern:

There are 4 distinct sourcing styles and product development personalities.

Each type has different strengths. Different blind spots. Different paths to success.

The founder transitioning from handmade? Her sourcing style needs completely different guidance than the first-timer starting from scratch.

The founder expanding into new categories? Her product development approach looks nothing like someone launching their first product.

Most founders don't realize which sourcing style they have.

So they follow generic advice. Use the wrong vetting process. Negotiate MOQs the wrong way. Waste time on steps that don't matter for their product development personality.

And it costs them—in time, money, and momentum.

The Founder Type Quiz Gives You a Custom Founder Blueprint

 

10 questions. 5 minutes. Your personalized roadmap from idea to first sample.

You'll discover:

 ✦ Which of the 4 sourcing styles matches your product development personality

 ✦ Your unique strengths in the sourcing process

 ✦ Your biggest blind spots (the mistakes you don't see coming)

 ✦ Your exact next steps based on where you are

No more guessing. No more generic advice.

What Founder Blueprint Customers Are Saying 

"The Founder Blueprint completely changed my approach. I was about to go down a path that would have cost me 3 months and probably $30K. Understanding my sourcing style and blind spots gave me clarity I didn't even know I needed."

Sarah M.

"I stopped trying to do everything at once and focused on what actually mattered for MY product development personality. The Blueprint showed me my strengths and where to lean in. Found my manufacturer in 3 weeks instead of months of confusion."

Jessica L.

"I was following generic 'how to source' content and getting nowhere. The quiz showed me my specific blind spots based on my sourcing style. The custom roadmap totally changed my strategy."

Take It Now or Pay More Later

This isn’t really about saving $30. It’s about what happens when you move forward without clarity.

If you start now ($67):
  • âś“ Get your custom Founder Blueprint from day one
  • âś“ Know your strengths and blind spots before you start sourcing
  • âś“ Follow the right next steps for YOUR style
  • âś“ Avoid wasting time on strategies that don’t apply to you
