Why startups look for an alternative
Full-service distributors are built for established brands with predictable volume. Early-stage founders usually want three things a startup-friendly option provides: lower first-run minimums, the ability to sample the exact part cheaply, and fast domestic sample delivery so they can decide in days, not weeks. That is the gap a sample-first marketplace fills.
