About YF

Our goal is to drive innovation in FMCG. 

We work with consumer brands on a journey to mainstream success, providing advisory and support services to help them scale. We also partner with retailers and investors to make it easier for them to identify and get behind high potential brands. By supporting both sides, we can drive the flywheel of progress. 

Our FMCG brand services span Supply Chain, Recruitment, HR, Commercial, Financial Advisory and more. Our insight is uniquely fuelled by our not-for-profit brand Community which gives us a pulse over more than 1,500 brands.

We are a certified B Corp, driving the shift to a new kind of economy that is better for workers, better for communities and better for the environment.
