About Saudara AI

Saudara AI is an AI sourcing broker connecting American brands with vetted overseas factories.

US brands import $3T in goods a year and lose billions to ghost suppliers, hidden fees, and blown deadlines. The factories that actually deliver sit behind decades-old relationships outsiders can't break into. We were born into them.

Every deal runs through a real human broker, supercharged by AI that handles sourcing, quoting, QC, logistics and vendor financing. 10x faster, at a fraction of the cost.

Sourcing is the largest broken market in global trade. We're the on-ramp.

Jennifer Prasetyo

I'm CTO of Saudara AI, an AI sourcing broker connecting US brands with international manufacturers. In 5 months, we've sourced $1M+ products for 40+ brands. A former engineer at Microsoft Quantum and Meta Reality Labs, I'm the rare technical founder born into the problem. My family has 50+ years in Indonesian textile manufacturing, giving Saudara supplier access competitors cannot replicate, and my channel @jenandtech (100K+ followers) drives compounding inbound.
