Our Story

Built for Africa's
creator generation.

Yes MAM started with a simple question: why can't a TikTok creator in Africa with 10,000 loyal followers turn that trust into income — without a bank account, a Shopify store, or a credit card?

Mission

Turn every follower
into a customer.

Africa's TikTok creators have enormous influence — but zero infrastructure to monetize it. We fix that. Yes MAM gives creators a branded storefront, a product catalog curated from real local vendors, and commission on every order they drive.

For vendors: your products reach audiences you could never buy through ads. You pay nothing until a sale is delivered. That's the Yes MAM promise.

What we stand for

Our values

🇬🇭

Africa First

We didn't build a Western platform and bolt Africa on. We built for African creators — MTN MoMo, WhatsApp orders, TikTok discovery, local vendors across the continent.

Creator Ownership

Creators keep 18% commission on every sale. Their audience, their income — we just provide the infrastructure.

🤝

Zero Risk for Vendors

Vendors only pay when an order is delivered. No ad spend, no upfront fees. You bring the product; creators bring the buyers.

📱

Mobile Native

Everything — ordering, tracking, payouts — works on a basic Android. Africa's economy runs on mobile and so do we.

🔍

Full Transparency

Every click, view, and order is tracked. Creators see their earnings in real time. Vendors see exactly what sold and when.

🚀

Pilot Before Scale

We're proving the model in Accra first. When the Africa pilot succeeds, we take the playbook to Lagos, Nairobi, and beyond.
