About Setsail

From market assessment to marketing execution, give your overseas business a clear next step. Setsail provides market-entry diagnostics, websites, SEO, advertising, and content, and can connect you with specialist service providers when needed.

The organization reflects the real risk in cross-border work: responsibility boundaries, not capability. When each market’s service provider contracts directly and owns its part, the client knows whom to contact when something goes wrong.

Shared rules

Six rules you can use to check us

These are not value statements; they are terms written into our internal specifications and decision records. If we fail to follow one, you can point to it and ask.

01

No full-scope delivery

Setsail handles intake and orchestration for cross-border cases and does not take on partner delivery. In each market, the local service provider contracts directly with the client and carries full responsibility; we are responsible only for the marketing work we perform. There is no master contract and no one-stop service.

02

One referral fee model

The network uses a unified referral model: the client contracts directly with the service provider, and the introducer receives a share after the deal closes. The service provider absorbs the referral fee in its gross margin; no extra line item is added for the client. Channel pricing is the same, so bypassing the hub is not cheaper and there is no reason to do so.

03

Sell coverage, not a roster

The public page shows which markets Setsail accepts, not a partner contact list to bypass the network. A partner’s name appears only on a co-branded page with written approval. This is about keeping responsibility clear, not hiding information.

04

State what is still missing

If a local partner has not passed review, the market is publicly marked “In preparation.” We do not display an unauthorized mark or claim local intelligence. If there is no publishable case, the case file stays empty. Blank is more honest than a placeholder and easier to maintain.

05

Pricing is public

The public price for diagnosis is NT$50,000-80,000, and the starting price and delivery level of the monthly fee are disclosed. There is no free diagnosis, no success reward system, and no revenue sharing. People comparing prices don’t have to call us first.

06

Money moves one step only

We do not collect or transfer third-party payments, guarantee outcomes, advance funds, or co-manage funds. The client pays advertising and media fees directly to the platform. In third-party engagements, the client’s money does not pass through us.

intake contact

Who handles intake on the Taiwan side?

Ace / Taiwan intake contact

I handle the consultation, diagnostic delivery, and marketing execution. The person you meet on the other side of the form is the same person—not a sales handoff.

We write the rules this plainly because in cross-border projects, problems are rarely about capability; they happen when nobody says who owns which part. Setsail would rather state what it does not do first.

The three cases on this site (Movo, chanchung, and the fruit-channel referral) are projects I personally handled. They describe verifiable work and include no revenue figures.
