AI Just Made Global Sourcing 10x Easier. Here’s How (With SourceReady CEO Ricky Ho)
Global sourcing is confusing, expensive, and stacked against small businesses — but AI is starting to change that.
In this episode of The Business Game, we sit down with Ricky Ho, CEO and co-founder of SourceReady, to unpack how artificial intelligence is transforming the way products are sourced, manufacturers are discovered, and suppliers are evaluated.
Ricky shares insights from building and selling a previous supply-chain startup (after raising $22M in venture capital), and explains how SourceReady uses customs data, automation, and AI agents to uncover real factories and eliminate the endless back-and-forth that founders hate.
We talk about why sourcing is often a bigger barrier than marketing, how AI compares thousands of suppliers faster than any human team, and why the future of global trade still needs humans in the loop.
This conversation also dives into leadership, fundraising lessons, product-market fit, and why business should be viewed as an infinite game — not something you “win” once.
