5 While working together in the electronics industry, Andrea Chuk and Gayle Durham realized that manufacturers had a need for obsolete or discontinued semiconductors. This insight led Chuk and Durham to create Heaven Electronics, which addresses both of these needs for companies in high-tech industries. You are your own best judge of what you can accomplish. Technology is changing rapidly and the life cycle of components is getting shorter, yet demand is increasing.
Few wholesalers focus on our specific niche.
Before starting this company, I spent 14 years in the semiconductor industry in international sales, and Andrea worked in purchasing. Together, we felt we had the knowledge to deliver a complete procurement solution. The biggest challenge was finding vendors who would take two female entrepreneurs seriously and facilitate our growth as a start-up. For example, we had a hard time getting a large phone company to provide a quote for telephone service. A large delivery business wasn't interested in servicing us either.
