Nowhere needs change more than the consumer goods industry, but nowhere is change harder. The products we consume every day have a profound impact on our health, wellbeing, and that of the world around us. However, what’s accessible to the average consumer remains stuck in the past. YF is here to fix that. Our goal is to drive innovation in FMCG. We do this by working hand in hand with retailers and investors to make it easier for them to identify and get behind high potential brands. At the same time, we provide advisory and support services to brands to help them achieve mainstream scale. By supporting both sides, we can drive the flywheel of progress. Our services span Discovery Support, Portfolio Management, Innovation Consulting, Training, Supply Chain Management, Recruitment, HR, Commercial and Financial Advisory. Our insight is uniquely fuelled by our not-for-profit Brand Community which gives us a pulse over more than 1,500 brands. Working in FMCG? Get in touch to find out how we can support you.
