Joseph Heller

Joseph Heller is the CEO and founder of THE/STUDIO, the company behind TheStudio.com and SuppliedShop.com, a supply-chain platform that connects creators, brands and small businesses with vetted factories worldwide so anyone can make custom products - patches, pins, apparel, medals and more - without minimum orders or sourcing expertise. After more than a decade working with factories in China, he built a low-MOQ, on-demand manufacturing model and a fully remote, globally distributed team, raising an $11M Series A in 2018 after 18 months and more than 150 investor rejections. His through-line is democratizing access to manufacturing as a path to broad-based wealth creation.
