Seeking a Paid Strategic Partner in Cape Town

About YOUNG

At YOUNG, we don’t build just one company, we build a group of fast-growing ventures across real estate, hospitality, coworking, media, coffee, and lifestyle. We operate internationally with headquarters in The Netherlands and Spain, and an expanding footprint across Europe, Africa, and emerging markets.

We build companies with speed, clarity, and high standards. Our ventures grow fast, our teams take ownership, and our people create real impact.

YOUNG (www.young.com) is an ecosystem of founder-led ventures, investments and strategic partnerships.

Instead of opening traditional offices around the world, we partner with entrepreneurs who have already built trusted communities in their cities.

Together, we connect founders, investors and businesses, create strategic partnerships, host events and grow local entrepreneurial ecosystems under the YOUNG brand.

Who We’re Looking For

You already own, lead or have built one of the following:

• An established Venture Studio
• A Startup Hub
• An Entrepreneurial Community
• An Innovation Hub
• A Founder Community
• A Boutique Coworking Community with an active startup ecosystem

Most importantly, you’ve already built a trusted network of founders, investors, entrepreneurs and strategic partners within Cape Town.

Your Role

As YOUNG Cape Town, you’ll help us:

• Represent YOUNG locally.
• Introduce founders, investors and strategic partners.
• Build partnerships on behalf of YOUNG.
• Create commercial opportunities.
• Organise founder dinners, networking events and community activities.
• Establish YOUNG’s local presence.
• Help secure a local business address and strategic ecosystem partnerships.
• Become the first point of contact for YOUNG in Cape Town.

Ideal Background

We’re particularly interested in founders of:

• Venture Studios
• Startup Hubs
• Entrepreneurial Communities
• Innovation Centres
• Founder Networks

If you’ve already built a thriving entrepreneurial community and are excited to become YOUNG Cape Town, we’d love to hear from you.
