Built for people who make things.
Manufacturing research used to require either $5,000 and a sourcing agent or 40+ hours of spreadsheets. We think that's broken.
The problem we're solving
Before Bottlecap
You guess Vietnam is cheapest. Design around $6/unit. Get to production: actual cost $8.50. Funding plan breaks. You've lost 6 weeks and $3K in samples that don't match your margin model.
After Bottlecap
You learn Vietnam is $6.20/unit but Mexico is $5.80 with zero tariffs via USMCA. You pivot 4 weeks before tooling. Save $1,200 and 30 days. Every number is sourced, every alternative is costed — in 5 minutes, not 5 weeks.
