创造不该有国界，
但创造需要有根。 Make without borders.
Make with roots.

它是一张帮助创作者开展跨境合作的会员与服务网络。你有想法、产品或手艺，我们和你一起把问题讲清楚，再连接合适的设计、生产与市场资源，让事情往前走。

「港」不是一栋楼，「泊位」也不等于一间办公室，而是你在这张网络中的连接。我们从成都出发，连接中国与海外的创作者和合作伙伴。

The Crosshatch is a membership and service network for cross-border creative collaboration. If you have an idea, a product or a craft, we help clarify what you need, then connect you with relevant design, production and market resources.

The “harbor” is not a building, and a “berth” is not a private office. It is your connection to the network. We work from Chengdu, connecting creators and collaborators in China and abroad.

两边都做。海外设计师、创客和小品牌，可以通过我们探索在中国打样、生产和共创；中国创作者与小品牌，可以通过我们了解海外用户、调整产品表达并寻找市场通路。

我们看的是你想做什么、卡在哪，不是你的国籍。海外华人、在中国生活的外国创作者，也都可以来聊。

Both. Overseas designers, makers and independent brands can explore prototyping, production and co-creation in China. Chinese creators and small brands can better understand overseas users, adapt how they present their products and explore routes to market.

What matters is your project and the obstacle you face, not your nationality. Overseas Chinese creators and international creators living in China are welcome too.

我们的基础是市场研究与设计、创新咨询：先了解谁会买、为什么买、产品该怎么表达，再决定下一步该找谁、做什么。跨境文化解码不只是翻译文字，而是让另一个市场理解产品的用途、价值和来历，同时保留它的特色。

需要落地时，我们再按项目连接打样、制造、手艺合作或销售渠道资源。具体支持哪些环节、由谁执行，开始前一起说清楚。

Our foundation is market research, design and innovation consulting: understanding who might buy, why they would buy and how to present the product before deciding what to do next. Cultural decoding goes beyond translating words. It helps another market understand a product’s use, value and origins without stripping away what makes it distinctive.

Where a project needs practical support, we explore relevant prototyping, manufacturing, craft or sales-channel connections. We agree on the scope and who will do what before work begins.

要看你缺的是哪一段。材料与工艺选择、打样加工、生产制造，都可能属于供应链问题；物流、报关和产品认证，则需要根据产品与目的地另行判断。

我们的作用是梳理需求、寻找和对接合适的合作方，不是自营所有工厂或物流线路。是否有匹配资源、能否接单、起订量和报价，都要具体核实。

It depends on the missing link. Material and process choices, prototyping and manufacturing can all be supply-chain needs. Logistics, customs clearance and product certification require a separate assessment based on the product and destination.

We clarify requirements and seek relevant partners; we do not operate every factory or shipping route ourselves. Partner availability, willingness to take the project, minimum order quantities and pricing must be checked case by case.

是，面向出海项目时，主要指进入目标市场的销售与合作通路。例如海外买手、零售商、经销合作方或电商渠道。但不是给每个产品同一张渠道名单，也不是介绍一次就一定上架。

先看产品适合谁、定价与交付是否可行，再判断该找哪类渠道。我们的海外联络点代表有人可以沟通，不代表当地所有销售渠道已经打通。

For projects going abroad, yes: routes to customers and commercial partners in the target market, such as buyers, retailers, distributors or e-commerce channels. There is no one-size-fits-all contact list, and an introduction does not guarantee a listing.

We first look at the intended customer, pricing and delivery feasibility, then identify the kind of channel worth approaching. An overseas liaison point means we have a contact there, not that every sales channel in that market is already accessible.

可以先聊，但要看你现在卡在哪里。如果已有产品和生产能力，我们会先看目标国家、使用人群、产品差异、售价和交付条件，再判断需要用户研究、产品表达，还是渠道对接。

如果你缺的是材料、打样或制造，再核实是否有合适的供应链伙伴。桨板涉及的安全要求、认证与运输，也需要专业方评估。我们提供约定范围内的支持，销售结果取决于产品与市场。

Let’s start with where you are stuck. If you already have a product and production capacity, we would first look at the target country, users, product differences, pricing and delivery conditions. That helps determine whether you need user research, clearer product communication or channel introductions.

If the gap is materials, prototyping or manufacturing, we would check for suitable partners. Safety requirements, certification and transport also need specialist assessment. We provide support within the agreed scope; sales outcomes depend on the product and market.

不一定。我们关注亲手做产品、作品或业务的人，设计、硬件、数字创作与小品牌都可以来聊，不需要先给自己贴「非遗」标签。

更重要的是：你是否有具体的跨境合作需求，是否愿意了解另一个市场，并保留自己的特色。专业门槛较高的品类，要先核实我们能否提供合适支持。

No. We welcome people building products, creative work or businesses, including design, hardware, digital creation and independent brands. You do not need a heritage-craft label.

What matters is a concrete cross-border need, a willingness to understand another market and a desire to retain what makes your work distinctive. For categories requiring specialist expertise, we first check whether we can offer relevant support.

外贸公司和采购中介通常围绕交易与采购提供服务；我们的起点是创作者的问题：谁需要你的产品、怎样被另一个市场理解、下一步该与谁合作。研究、设计咨询与资源连接放在一起，而不是只转交一个联系人。

我们也不以提供办公室为核心。长期价值在于持续交流、项目协作与会员之间的共创；具体交易或专业服务，仍需明确各方分工。

Trading companies and sourcing agents usually focus on transactions and procurement. We start with the creator’s problem: who needs the product, how another market will understand it and who to work with next. We combine research, design advice and relevant connections rather than simply passing on a contact.

Providing offices is not our core offer either. The ongoing value lies in exchange, project collaboration and co-creation among members. Roles in any transaction or specialist service still need to be agreed explicitly.

不需要把使用成都的实体空间作为合作前提。我们首先是一张网络，可以先远程沟通；打样、工艺合作或面对面的活动，再根据需要安排。

如果你需要独立办公室或 Studio，空间使用另行协商，不是会员费自动包含的权益。「开放式泊位」指网络中的会员连接，不意味着保证一处固定实体空间。

Using a physical space in Chengdu is not a prerequisite for collaboration. We are a network first, and can begin with a remote conversation. Prototyping, craft collaboration or in-person activities can be arranged according to the project’s needs.

A private office or studio requires a separate agreement; it is not automatically included in membership. An “open berth” is your membership connection to the network, not a guarantee of a fixed physical space.

服务费按 人民币 400 元／月 计算，按季度支付。支持包括按需求预筛的资源对接、每月一对一顾问交流、工具与案例分享，以及社群共创；具体安排以协议为准。

服务费不是整个项目的打包价。专项研究、设计或执行服务另行明确范围与报价；经我们引荐、实际成交且款项到账的交易，按成交额收取 10% 撮合费；自行开发、非我们引荐的交易不收撮合费。引荐关系与结算方式事先书面明确。生产、物流及特定空间使用等费用，也不自动包含在服务费内。付款周期、协议期限与退出、退款条件，在签约前明确。

The service fee is RMB 400 per month, paid quarterly. Support includes needs-based, pre-screened introductions, monthly one-on-one advisory conversations, tools and case sharing, and community co-creation. Specific arrangements are governed by the agreement.

The service fee is not an all-inclusive project fee. Dedicated research, design or execution work has a separately agreed scope and quote. For transactions resulting from our referrals, a 10% fee on the transaction value applies once the deal is completed and funds are received. Deals you develop independently, without our referral, are not subject to that fee. Referrals and settlement terms are documented in writing beforehand. Production, logistics and specific space-use costs are not automatically included. Payment schedules, contract duration, exit and refund conditions are clarified before signing.

不能把加入会员理解为订单或融资保证。我们能做的是一起判断需求、推进合作、减少不必要的试错；客户是否购买、合作方是否接单，仍取决于产品与实际商业条件。

会员服务不以取得你的股份为条件，也不是投资承诺。生产、销售及专业服务中的责任，以具体项目的书面约定为准；法律、税务与认证问题需要相应专业方确认。

Membership is not a guarantee of sales or funding. We can help assess demand, advance collaboration and reduce avoidable trial and error. Customers’ purchasing decisions and partners’ willingness to take a project still depend on the product and commercial conditions.

Giving us equity is not a condition of membership, and membership is not an investment commitment. Responsibilities for production, sales and specialist work are defined in the relevant written project agreement. Legal, tax and certification matters require qualified professionals.

先发邮件到 hello@crosshatchmaker.org，告诉我们四件事：你在做什么、目前做到哪一步、想进入哪个市场、最需要解决什么问题。有产品图或简介，可以一并附上；不用先准备一份完整商业计划书，也别急着付费。

我们先判断是否适合、能帮到哪一段，再讨论会员或项目合作。介绍朋友前先征得对方同意，做一个简单引荐就好，不需要替我们承诺结果。

Email hello@crosshatchmaker.org with four things: what you are making, your current stage, the market you want to reach and the main problem you need to solve. Include product images or a short introduction if available. There is no need to prepare a full business plan or rush into payment.

We first assess fit and where we might help, then discuss membership or project work. If introducing a friend, ask their permission first and make a simple introduction. You do not need to promise any outcome on our behalf.
