Resellers and streetwear brand founders struggle to find manufacturers because they don't know where to look or where manufacturers market themselves.

Manufacturers on the production side don't know where to find their target customers (resellers and streetwear brands), and those customers don't know where to look for manufacturers, creating a discovery gap.
