2. The Problem
More than 500,000 electronic
components go obsolete each
year
Expected life-cycle of a new
product is decreasing each year
Average today is 3 years
Tools to manage these
challenges are often too
expensive for small to medium
sized businesses
Entry-level, non-technical
buyers are under pressure and
often turn to the grey market to
solve their challenges

3. Today’s Situation…
When a no-bid occurs and chaos
ensues, the buyer is often forced to
turn to the grey market
While many independent disties and brokers are
trustworthy, often a buyer ends up doing business with
some shady characters selling counterfeit parts
TGBN is the FIRST place on the web where a buyer
can rate and write reviews about a supplier
TGBN is the FIRST community of its kind for buyers &
engineers to connect, collaborate, learn, and find parts.

Powered by IHS, the TGBN Dashboard is the first dashboard where you can get
