Our startup was founded in 2018 by Nick Stals, successful serial entrepreneur and founder of GiftForYou (> 40 fte) & HotelSpecials (> 100 fte). Based in the picturesque Haarlem (15 min from Amsterdam), we are on a journey to change the way people and companies are giving and using gift cards.
Our team is setting out to shake up this plastic-based industry: Together, we will make gift cards easier to use, more personalized, and more environmentally friendly.
With the Yesty app (iOS / Android), it's now easy to store, redeem, swap and give gift cards.
As a sender, you can add a video, a photo and personal message to make it more fun and unique. As a recipient you can redeem the card with your phone at the retailer or swap your gift card for something else.
Companies are using the Yesty solution to send gift cards to employees and customers, including their corporate identity and personalizations. We are proud te be the gift card partner of Essent and Utrecht University. More partnerships to come!
Major gift card brands like bol.com, Zalando, HEMA, De Bijenkorf, Rituals, ICI Paris XL and many others trust us for selling their gift cards.
It all started with two people in 2018 and within 12 months we increased the team to five full-time employees and an off-site development team. Whilst you are reading this, we have probably grown again!
We're an autonomous (self-funded) startup that is expanding (we have almost grown out of our first office!). For a startup, we are also very experienced. Our CEO Nick has already successfully build two companies and sold one (market leading experience gift card company GiftForYou).
Our mission is to create more smiles and contribute to meaningful connections by a better gifting experience
"For me, I chose Yesty because of Nick and his solid plan and vision as well as the already beautiful product. We know that this market needs to be digitalized and the complexity of working on a corporate solution as well as a B2C solution makes things challenging and super dynamic for me everyday. It's also nice to be building a company together"
