EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT & PARTNER,

FLOWERPLUS CHINA

In 2015, Su, working as a Shanghai-based venture capitalist, met

executives from Flowerplus to discuss a potential investment in

the subscription-bouquet startup. Su liked the business model:

Customers pick from four plans (1, 3, 6 or 12 months; prices

range from roughly $20 to $700) and receive arrangements

weekly. Su was won over, so much so that she quit her VC job

and became a partner at the startup, which has since expanded

to 5 million users and over $100 million in sales.

The success of this subscription-based model has given Su

the idea for her next venture, Rouralism. The service, soon to

be launched, will deliver daily-use products such as underwear

and toilet paper. Su expects Rouralism to find a market among

China’s white-collar women, who are often too busy to do

household shopping. “As people’s disposable income grows in

China, they are spending more on things that will improve life

quality,” says Su. “This is driving spending on nonessentials such

as flowers and travels—and this is what we call a consumption

upgrade.” —Yue Wang
