YOUNG Is Seeking an Existing Venture Studio, Startup Hub or Entrepreneurial Community in Cape Town for a Paid Strategic Partnership

YOUNG is looking for a founder or leadership team that already owns or operates an established venture studio, startup hub or entrepreneurial community in Cape Town.

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.

About YOUNG

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.
  

What We Offer

• A paid monthly retainer as part of a long-term strategic partnership.

• Access to YOUNG's international ecosystem.

• Opportunities to collaborate with founders, investors and partners worldwide.

• The opportunity to build and lead YOUNG Cape Town.

• Significant freedom to shape the local ecosystem together.
  

Ideal Background

We're particularly interested in founders of:

• Venture Studios

• Startup Hubs

• Entrepreneurial Communities

• Innovation Centres

• Founder Networks

• Boutique Coworking Communities

• Hospitality concepts serving founders and investors
  

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

Interested? Let's build Cape Town together.
