Our story

The Sparrows was founded by a group of MIT engineers drawn to the vibrant creative ecosystem in China’s own “Silicon Valley” of Shenzhen. Exposed firsthand to China’s advanced manufacturing infrastructure, they realized the enormous potential that existed for building great products, but also the challenges of navigating the development process. And thus The Sparrows was born – an endeavor to provide creators with the resources needed to make their ideas a reality and a means of bridging ideas across physical and geopolitical boundaries.
