China supplier with China sourcing agent

Our Story

A China buying office that works for the buyer, not the factory

GoSource is a boutique, dedicated team based in Shenzhen — the heart of China's manufacturing ecosystem. We are not a trading company and not a freight forwarder. We are a China buying office: an independent, on-the-ground team that represents overseas founders and importers when they source from China.

Our story

GoSource was born out of a simple observation: personalized, efficient sourcing from China should not be this hard for small and medium-sized businesses. Allen and Cynthia started GoSource after witnessing firsthand how many overseas founders struggled with the realities of sourcing — picking the right factory, holding quality, bridging the communication gap, and keeping cross-border logistics on track. Too often, these frictions slowed growth and quietly added risk.
We founded GoSource to close the gap between overseas founders and China's factories — and to do it transparently.

Our Team

Allen Zeng China sourcing agent

Allen Zeng

Co-Founder
Product & Sales Director

For 15+ years Allen has worked in sourcing, brand consulting and product design. Earlier he co-founded a brand consulting and design firm and built a cultural-creative brand in Tibet — experience that shaped how he approaches cross-cultural product work: respect the place, listen first, then build something that lasts. He founded GoSource with Cynthia to give overseas founders a grounded, honest partner on the ground in China.

Cynthia Chen

Co-Founder
Operations & Supply Chain Director

A former Marketing Planning Project Manager at BYD and Project Secretary at LWK + PARTNERS, Cynthia leads supplier negotiation and owns production for every project. Across electronics, toys, home goods and collectibles she reads a factory’s process, cost and quality risk, then keeps the build under control from prototype to shipment. She keeps widening our supplier network and process know-how — and pushes where engineering meets art and design.

Gary Crowley

Co-Founder
U.S. Market & Strategic Partnerships

As GoSource grew, Allen and Cynthia met their U.S.-based partner, Gary Crowley. A top-rated eBay seller and serial entrepreneur across several industries, Gary had seen the same gap from the other side: even in a connected world, a real distance remains between U.S. small-business owners and Chinese suppliers. Differences in expectations, communication and execution often keep good products from reaching the market. That shared view shaped GoSource as a bridge — aligned on both sides of the supply chain.
