Jonathan Jenkins is the founder and CEO of OrderWithMe, an online marketplace that connects retailers directly with factories in China. OrderWithMe has experienced success since its launch in 2007, generating $1.5 million in sales during its first year. The company solves the problem retailers face of high markups from middlemen by allowing them to source products directly from factories while still handling logistics and quality control. OrderWithMe sees over 100 new product listings and 12 new factory partners added per week. Customers report being able to achieve gross margins of 75% with OrderWithMe compared to only 50% without its direct sourcing model.
