We’re not going to sugar-coat it – making a product is really hard. That’s why so many creators fail to deliver even after a successful launch. But the thing is, so many of these failures were completely avoidable.
We see it again and again. A creator has an amazing crowdfunding campaign, but runs into manufacturing issues. They go deep into debt, compromise on quality, or sell more equity than they want (if they even can).
But here's the thing…
A lot of those issues come from not getting the right manufacturing partner for your unique product. We help you source the best suppliers and avoid major mistakes – ensuring your business gets solid footing from start to scale.
“After my first successful Kickstarter campaign, my previous manufacturer couldn’t meet quality expectations. I was in a stressful situation, needing to find a new manufacturer quickly and seeking a reliable partner. Joining LaunchBoom Sourcing was extremely helpful; they educated me on aspects of manufacturing that I wish I’d known before launching. It’s incredibly helpful, offering leverage in terms of saving money and providing information useful for future products.”

Coming up with a product idea is easy. But developing that idea into a winning product is hard. Whether it’s just an idea in your head or an initial prototype, we help you optimize your product – turning your idea into a detailed specification sheet you can share with potential manufacturers.
“Before joining LaunchBoom Sourcing, I spent about five years spinning my wheels, honestly. I still didn’t have a supplier and paid way too much for US prototypes.”
– Nate Sutterer
There isn’t one top supplier that works for everyone. Every product is unique. We help you source top suppliers specific for you and your product – optimizing for both quality and cost.
"Thankfully we decided to use LaunchBoom's innovative hands-on approach which saved us money on commission fees and better prepared us for the intricacies of online marketing and product development."

You do not want to place your first production run until you’ve received a high quality pre-production sample. If done wrong, you could be looking at 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of dollars in wasted costs. We ensure you get a production-quality sample quickly before you place your production run.
“I found a lot of value in the LaunchBoom Sourcing program. It provides all the steps from A to Z for sourcing a product, with detailed information. Joe and Kian were super helpful and answered all my questions during the process.”
– Rhonda Mason
Once you start manufacturing, every cent matters. We work with you to make sure the manufacturers are giving you the best terms possible – both with minimum order quantities (MOQs) and price per unit.
“I wholeheartedly recommend LaunchBoom Sourcing to anyone seeking a complete package that not only addresses supply chain challenges but also fosters a supportive community of like-minded individuals.”
– Valdas Ganosinas
Placing your first production run can be equally exciting and terrifying. We take out the terrifying part and replace it with confidence – making sure the production goes smoothly and 3rd party quality control is in place so nothing goes wrong.
“Joe and Kian’s expertise helped me greatly to navigate the tedious process of finding a suitable manufacturer. I have a complicated product with many different parts and materials, and they helped me follow through on all aspects, such as sample production, contract reviews, quality-testing, etc.”
– Sara Hasan
Getting your product from the production floor to your customer’s doorstep can be a nightmare. We make it easy by connecting you with the right forwarder and fulfillment centers. Our goal is to make sure you have the lowest shipping costs and fastest delivery times.
“The team at LaunchBoom / SourceBoom is exactly what I was looking for when developing my products. Their expertise and systematic approach to manufacturing and launching original products includes detailed, evidence-based information that is more in-depth than I have found elsewhere on the internet.”
– Cole Aansen
Kian Golazari is the main sourcing & manufacturing expert at LaunchBoom. He’s helped thousands of brands, big and small, produce millions of units across dozens of industries.
Making your product is a lot easier when you have money in your pocket. It’s even easier when that money comes from real customers. We can help you launch through Kickstarter and generate tons of pre-sell revenue.
Learn how we helpKian has worked on over 2,500 products with over 500 factories for major organizations like the NBA, Google, and Procter & Gamble, as well as countless DTC startups across dozens of industries.
So whether you’ve got a tech product, kitchen product, bag product, food product, clothing product, tabletop game, or anything in between…he’s likely worked on something with similar attributes.
In short. Yes. It’ll work.
No.
Kian has traveled the world looking for the best factories on the globe - not just China. Depending on your product, China might not even be the best choice.
Whether you want to manufacture in the U.S.A. or just want to find the best factory for your product, the system and strategy still applies.
All the more reason to get in now.
Sourcing is not a one-and-done process.
Remember, manufacturing costs affect each UNIT you sell for the lifetime of your business. As long as you're selling products, you’re paying the per unit cost set by your initial terms. If you don’t know how to negotiate those terms and optimize your product, that per unit cost isn’t going down.
The skills and strategies you’ll be using in LaunchBoom Sourcing apply for as long as your business runs (even beyond).
Even if you already have inventory, you can still save time and costs as you scale your business. From prototype to your millionth unit, each step can be optimized to cut costs on a per unit basis.
Even better.
The sooner you start, the more time, money, and logistical stress you save…and the more problems and mistakes you’ll avoid.
By starting from scratch with us, you can optimize every step of your product development process, secure the best cost per unit, and give you accurate, profitable pricing when you launch on Kickstarter or Indiegogo.
No. In fact, we advise you don’t use a sourcing agent.
Why?
This is the foundation of YOUR business. You need to have a direct relationship with the people making your product or you’re risking your entire business and brand.
