Mehgan Yen (she/her)

Co-Founder & COO | Taiwanese American

Mehgan is a serial slashie: Social Entrepreneur / Computer Programmer / Self-love Advocate. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA to an undocumented single mother who sparked her love of feminism and Asian cultures.

After graduating from college, she moved to Taiwan to dive deeper into her Taiwanese roots and start her career. Her interests guided her to roles in marketing, sustainability, and real estate for Fortune 500 companies and early-stage startups. She has led teams spanning across 7 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, pioneered initiatives resulting in greater AAPI representation in entertainment and media, and managed over $5MM in assets.

Her feminist passions have also given way to serving as an Executive Committee Member of Beyond Our Borders, a donor-advised fund amplifying international opportunities for women and girls to be economically self-sufficient. She is pursuing a master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania to further explore the intersection of women’s economic empowerment and technology. Nothing brings her more joy than being present with her husband and baby girl.

Mehgan’s favorite way of celebrating her AANHPI identity is to just exist as an AANHPI woman. She believes that our existence is always worthy of celebration.
