This is not a job and not a coworking opportunity .

We’re looking for a long-term paid strategic partner who wants to become the local representative of the YOUNG ecosystem while creating an additional recurring revenue stream through a monthly retainer.

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.

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