I don't know about that specific startup, but there are tons of firms in China which will manufacture and assemble PCBs for you. Most of the big hobbyist firms, like JLCPCB, Elecrow, and PCBWay, offer some form of PCBA service. JLCPCB in particular is closely integrated with LCSC, and will source parts directly from them.
