Make Anything — the world's first virtual sourcing agent meets the largest private manufacturing network.

About us

We help businesses find better suppliers to make their products. Making products is painful. Finding reliable suppliers is hard, and it takes an average of 500 messages to source a product from start to finish. That’s why companies often end up stuck with high production costs and suboptimal suppliers. We automate product sourcing by exposing the entire global manufacturing ecosystem through a single request. No more emails and phone calls: tell us what you want to make and we engage with thousands of suppliers on your behalf and find the right supplier for you. Cavela allows you to efficiently manufacture premium quality products at the most competitive cost — something typically only available to the largest brands. Why businesses use Cavela: • 35% Lower Production Costs We negotiate on your behalf and get 3 times more quotes than typical sourcing agents, resulting in 35% lower production costs on average. • All-in-one Supplier matching. Quote compilation. Sample production. Quality assurance. Order delivery. Fully automated and handled for you. • 24/7 Operations Day or night, our automated agents work with suppliers around the clock on your behalf, no matter the time zone. • Private Global Network The world’s largest private network of manufacturers worldwide — from China to the US, Vietnam to Mexico, and for every product category.

    Thrilled to hear Cavela mentioned in this week's episode of Fintech Takes with the brilliant Alex Johnson and Simon Taylor. And thanks for the fantastic quote, guys: "Holy crap, the dropshipping game just changed." We might just have to use that tagline on our next order of company swag 🚀 Catch Cavela at 39:45, but do listen to the episode in full. Some great insights on the space, and a number of other brilliant companies mentioned here too:

    Today, dockworkers along the entire East Coast of the United States went on strike, halting the flow of about half the country's ocean shipping. The disruption reflects a growing trend of protectionist policies and geopolitical tensions fracturing global supply chains. From Brexit, to the US-China trade war, to the conflict in Ukraine, trade routes are increasingly vulnerable. And this is ignoring the havoc that the Covid-19 crisis caused to global supply chains. In a volatile environment, businesses need resilient, adaptable supply chains, with the ability to quickly find alternative suppliers to maintain their operations. The old methods of sourcing through personal relationships and email are inadequate. AI allows us to operate at a velocity that individuals can't match. It's time to embrace a modern way of sourcing and future-proof supply chains.

    Very exciting to see the Arcade launch last week. The global trend we're seeing is undeniable: the future of products is custom, and puts individuals and small businesses in the driver's seat. Product creation is undergoing the same revolution digital content saw in the last two decades. Armed with new tools for direct distribution (social media) and means of production (phone cameras), small businesses and individuals were suddenly able to create and monetise digital content like never before in the form of podcasts, influencer channels, video streams, and more. The result: an explosion of creativity, a disruption of traditional digital media, and the emergence of new economies no one saw coming. Physical products are now seeing the same trend. Gone are the days where large brands had a stronghold on distribution and mass-manufacturing of products; small businesses and individuals are entering the arena in a big way. The impact will be just as groundbreaking — creative, unique, highly dynamic, and increasingly defined by the end-users. This is precisely the future we're building with Cavela: a world where anyone can bring their product vision to life, breaking free from the limitations of traditional manufacturing and creating something truly unique.
