About the Company

Fictiv

Platform for instant custom-part sourcing

Fictiv runs a digital platform that connects buyers with a global network of vetted manufacturing partners to source custom-manufactured parts. It enables low-volume production by providing instant quotes, manufacturability analysis, and on-demand production status updates, eliminating the need for large tooling investments. It also offers design-for-manufacturability consultations via chat or Zoom with technical experts. The company differentiates itself with access to a wide, geographically distributed manufacturing network (across the U.S., China, India, and Mexico) that reduces supply-chain risk and accelerates sourcing for small-quantity runs. Its goal is to make it faster and easier for businesses to source and manage custom parts from design to delivery.
