Chanyu Xu founded HER ONE after building businesses across software, food technology and consumer products.

Mentee Testimony

"Xu herself is a single female founder. She has built a VC-backed consumer health startup with consistent growth and a super strong team. She always gave me freedom within my work as an FA to understand what it really means to become a founder: execution not ideas, and failing fast. When I told her about my wish to build my own startup at some point, I was scared that she might question my commitment to her and HER ONE, but instead, she hugged me and is still supporting me where she can!"
