About the founder

Sourcing, simplified.

Troy Wayland, founder of Prismatic SourcingHi, I'm Troy Wayland — the founder of Prismatic Sourcing and Prismatic Exchange. For the last six years, I've spent my days on the other end of WeChat, Alibaba, and WhatsApp threads, negotiating with overseas manufacturers on behalf of US bulk buyers and retail shops.

I cut my teeth in the trading card world — sourcing custom vanity slabs, acrylic booster-pack dispensers, premium playmats, and display-quality protective cases for TCG and CCG shops across North America. Sourcing isn't just price negotiation. It's translating vague specs across a real language barrier, vetting factory capacity, catching QC red flags before they ship, and structuring payments so nobody gets burned.

Prismatic Sourcing exists because most US buyers are quietly overpaying — by 20–60% — every time they order in bulk. I built this so shops and small brands could tap the same factory network the big guys use, without learning Mandarin, eating wire fees, or rolling the dice on a random Alibaba supplier.
