Yes She May is the only online platform where consumers can shop for products made by women-owned businesses around the world. Each product is carefully curated so no two brands will compete in the same space.
Our mission is to help grow women’s business globally by giving them access to a larger audience with our advanced technology platform and infrastructure as well as a competitive shipping rate so their business can survive and thrive!
On a journey to help women entrepreneurs, founder Mei Xu, spoke with over 300 women around the world. In 2019 Mei began working with these founders - sharing their stories and giving them business advice.
Then the pandemic hit the U.S. in March 2020 and many of our women business owners were hit hard. Women were struggling to access consumers and were lacking resources - not knowing how to weather these challenges!
Combining Mei’s passion for innovation and expertise in the consumer product business, Yes She May was born.
Unlike Amazon and other large online retailers, Yes She May works closely with our female founders to tell their stories and build a bridge with consumers beyond just the transaction of goods.
We work with women around the world to discover the most innovative and unique products in the categories of fashion, beauty, wellness and home décor.
When you shop at Yes She May, you are not only supporting a woman-owned business, you are also supporting their communities; and continue to be the change you want to see - one purchase at a time!
Drawing upon more than two decades of experience as a brand architect, consumer product designer, global manufacturer and successful CEO and mentor, Mei is dedicated to helping businesses launch, grow and prosper in the US and China.
Named twice by Inc. Magazine as CEO of one of “America’s Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies,” Mei’s focus on product innovation and design combined with her deep understanding of consumer trends and behavior helped ensure record, double-digit year-over-year growth. Her business acumen combined with her international network of connections enable her to pay-it-forward by helping entrepreneurs and women-owned small businesses scale their operations. Mei let’s her life speak and is the embodiment of her motto: “A candle loses nothing by lighting up another.”
