MADE HERE
Local manufacturing is the bedrock of a resilient economy.
It builds community wealth and drives lasting economic power.
SFMade stewards the San Francisco Bay Area manufacturing ecosystem. We cultivate the resources and partnerships that enable local manufacturing to innovate, grow, and create economic opportunities.
Three Pathways. One Ecosystem.
We work at every stage of the manufacturing economy — from the entrepreneur making goods by hand, to the established companies scaling production, to preparing the next generation.
Consumer Products
For entrepreneurs and growing businesses making consumer goods such as food and beverage, apparel, home goods, personal care, and beyond.

Advanced Manufacturing
For companies using technology, automation, and precision processes to make things — machine shops, medical devices, food & beverage, and more.
Youth Program
For high schoolers exploring careers in engineering, AI and entrepreneurship, and
pathways to well-paying jobs that do not always require a four-year degree.
Here's How We Create Value
Technical Assistance and Business Resources
Free 1:1 consulting, specialized tools, and industry connections that help manufacturers navigate the things that matter most: pricing, packaging, compliance, operations, and sales channels.
Workshops and Forums
Educational sessions on pertinent topics and networking events - because often the best advice or collaboration opportunity comes from someone who's in the same room.
Youth Workforce Development
Introducing high school students to professional skills and career pathways that leads to good, lasting jobs through hands-on programming and internships.
Policy & Advocacy
We advocate for policies that strengthen local manufacturing and amplify the voice of Bay Area makers at the city and state level.
