Hi, I’m Linjie Lyu

I am the CTO & Co-Founder of Bridge, an AI-powered buyer for sourcing from China. We help Western companies work directly with verified suppliers and factories—without the need for local teams.

If any of the following sound familiar, we should talk:

• Sourcing Fatigue: Overwhelmed by Alibaba with no clear way to choose.
• Communication Gaps: Technical discussions lost in translation.
• Quality Blindspots: Limited visibility or leverage to enforce specifications.

Previously, I was a Ph.D. researcher in Computer Graphics and Vision at Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik with Christian Theobalt.
