An American Entrepreneur In China; An Interview with JLmade Cofounder, Jacob Yount
Jacob Yount, along with his wife and business partner, Leeds, are the founders of JLmade, a Suzhou-based company that helps manufacture promotional items for major Western brands. China’s economic prowess has largely stemmed from being the manufacturing center of the world, and JLmade has helped bridge the gap between Chinese factories and Western companies. While I am vacationing State-side, and Jacob is busy at work in his Suzhou office, we had a video conference about his experience in China, his life as an entrepreneur, and his plans for the future.

Every year in China, there is the “sole job fair for foreigners,” authorized by China’s department of foreign affairs.

And I was really hoping to see at least a couple of international companies there. Unfortunately the fair was filled with English teaching opportunities, and a few ‘out in left field’ technical positions.
