Overview

Saudara AI is an AI sourcing broker connecting American brands with vetted overseas factories.

US brands import $3T in goods a year and lose billions to ghost suppliers, hidden fees, and blown deadlines. The factories that actually deliver sit behind decades-old relationships outsiders can't break into. We were born into them.

Every deal runs through a real human broker, supercharged by AI that handles sourcing, quoting, QC, logistics and vendor financing. 10x faster, at a fraction of the cost.

Sourcing is the largest broken market in global trade. We're the on-ramp.

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.
