A private individual needs to find OEM/ODM manufacturers for power banks with custom USB-C connector arrangements but lacks access to manufacturers willing to work with small batches and provide transparent information.
Crowdfunding platforms don't connect individuals directly with manufacturers for small-batch production, and manufacturers typically require large minimum order quantities and aren't accessible to private individuals.
