”Made in China” to ”Made by China”, with Jacob Rothman, Founding Partner of Platform88

Disruptors within the manufacturing space are forcing a change to the old adage 'Made in China'. This week’s guest, Jacob Rothman, Founding Partner of Platform88, tells us exactly how technology has caused manufacturing in China to pivot. Platform88, a manufacturing network that brings ideas to life, is at the forefront of this movement.

From his young dreams of becoming a Rabbi, to experiencing a previous exit, to owning his own factory in China that directly supplies companies like Walmart and Canadian Tire, Jacob discusses the manufacturing obstacles that start-ups often face, the evolution of manufacturing, and how factories are more willing to accept MOQs (Minimal Order Quantities) and manufacture on demand, with good quality, rather than mass produce at low quality.
