Manufacturer Selection
Find facilities that can make your product, compare quotes that are actually comparable, and settle terms before the deposit leaves.
You've already decided what the product is and how custom it needs to be. This module gets you four to six comparable quotes, checks out the facilities behind them, and settles ownership and exit terms before any money moves.
A manufacturer is the most expensive relationship in this business to leave, and most founders choose one on the price at the bottom of the quote.
