Gembah is a platform and marketplace that guides smaller businesses through the product-creation process by connecting them with factories, designers, engineers and supply-chain experts. The service promises results in as little as 90 days and aims to lower barriers to entry for new product creation. It targets e-commerce companies and hardware startups seeking help with manufacturing and supply-chain diversification as companies look beyond China. Gembah reported revenue growth of 500% in 2020 and said it is on track to triple revenue this year, though it has not yet reached profitability. The company currently has about 300 active customers and a team of 55 employees in the U.S. plus 19 in Asia and Mexico. Proceeds from the new financing will fund engineering hires and strengthening of the marketplace, supply-chain workflow and machine-learning capabilities, along with marketing and UI/UX hires to expand its global network. Based in Austin, Texas, Gembah operates an end-to-end product innovation platform that connects businesses and entrepreneurs to vetted experts and factories from design through shipment. The company has built a global manufacturing network of over 700 factories and a growing product development network covering product design, electrical and mechanical engineering. Gembah leverages machine learning to reduce inefficiencies in designing and manufacturing, enabling some products to move from concept to reality in as little as 90 days. The company positions itself to serve the accelerating e-commerce market and to restore trust and efficiency in global supply chains. Gembah plans to use new funding to develop its platform further and to grow its team and partner network both domestically and overseas. Total funding raised to date is $3.775M.
