About Wayo
The future of physical productcreation,powered by AI
Why settle for mundane when you can create something extraordinary?
At Wayo, the possibilities are endless. With our AI-powered platform, it's easier than ever to create unique, high-quality products directly from the world's best factories.
Our mission
Empowering companies and creators to make anything, from anywhere in the world
We’re building a vertically integrated global supply chain that connects creators, brands, and businesses with thousands of the world’s leading factories.
Our story
It all started with recognizing the gap
Julia, our CEO, has lived the challenges of global supply chains from every angle: first as Chief of Staff at Alibaba North America, and then as founder of Multitasky, the lifestyle brand she bootstrapped and scaled into major retailers.
In 2023, Julia teamed up with Mandy, our COO, to reimagine the global supply chain system: What if global manufacturing worked with the speed and simplicity of modern tech platforms?
That vision became Wayo – an AI-powered platform transforming how brands and creators bring unique products to life. And this is just the beginning.
