China has everything. Founders have the ideas. Nobody connects them properly.
HOLON is a Physical AI hardware consultancy based in Shenzhen. We bridge the gap between technical founders building edge compute products and the manufacturing reality of China — with the technical depth to understand what you are building, and the operational presence to execute it on the ground.
Capabilities
Component sourcing, vendor qualification, and quote validation
Architecture review, vendor selection, EVT through DVT
NPI through mass production, on-the-ground operations
