01 · Why Venture Studio
Sourcing from China is slow, manual and low-trust. It doesn't have to be.
Language models that read Chinese and English documents make every manual step cheap enough to automate end to end.
Joining a platform
Days to weeks of manual review, paid listing fees, English-only forms
Upload once. AI verifies in minutes and creates the account
Product listings
Staff retype specs from PDFs and Excel; weak English copy
AI builds structured listings in 12 languages from your files
Trusting a supplier
Hard to tell real factories from traders
Every supplier carries a verification record and trust score

06 · Trust and compliance
AI makes the call. People handle the exceptions. Everything is explained.
Built for a regulated, cross-border business from the first line of code.
Explainable decisions
Every approval or rejection links to the document, the check and the rule that produced it.
Rules decide, not prompts
Models extract and score; versioned rule packs make the decision. Hard legal checks are never left to a model.
Human review by exception
Low-confidence cases and a random sample of approvals go to a trained reviewer. Every applicant can appeal.
Data stays where the law requires
Chinese company data is processed and stored in China. Only published catalog data crosses the border.
Screened every day
Sanctions, restricted-entity and court lists at onboarding and daily after that, plus checks on every listing.
Forgery defence
Registry cross-checks, seal and font consistency and tamper detection — never the document alone.
07 · Launch categories
Starting where we know the ground: Agriculture & Agtech.
Each category brings its own verification rules. Agriculture launches first; Healthcare follows with stricter checks and mandatory human review.

10 · Questions
Good questions, short answers.
Who can join?
Manufacturers registered in mainland China, and companies anywhere else that want to source from them. Both sides go through verification before they can list or source.
How long does verification take?
Most automated checks finish in minutes. Cases the AI is unsure about go to a person, usually within one business day.
What does the AI look at?
Your business licence and certificates against official registries, export registration, the legal representative and bank account, sanctions and court lists, and factory media. You see each check and its result.
Where is my data stored?
Chinese company data is processed and stored in China. Foreign company data is stored in a separate region. Raw documents and personal data never leave their region.
Do you handle payments or orders?
Not yet. Venture Studio is a verification and discovery layer. Payment and escrow are planned only with the right licences.
What if I disagree with a decision?
Every decision shows its reasons. You can upload new documents or appeal, and a person reviews the appeal.
