Built by export professionals, for export professionals.
YES Platform was founded by Giles Taarland, a British export development consultant based in Bali, Indonesia, with over a decade of experience helping food and beverage brands enter Southeast Asian markets.
Our mission
Why we built this.
Finding the right distribution partner in Asia Pacific has always been harder than it should be. Brands spend months doing cold outreach, attending expensive trade shows, and chasing contacts who never reply. Distributors wade through irrelevant approaches from brands that do not fit their market or category.
We built YES Platform to fix both sides of that problem. Smart matching, verified profiles, and a structured deal pipeline mean the right introductions happen faster, with less wasted effort on both sides.
