Overview

CO-FOUNDER OPPORTUNITY Cape Town

Equity-Based Founder-Led Backed by YOUNG

At Cape Town we’re not building from scratch; we’re partnering with proven founders to take existing ventures to the next level. We’re looking for bold entrepreneurs who have already launched a hospitality, travel, or lifestyle business and are now ready to scale it with the right strategic partner.

You Are

A founder / operator with 5 years in hospitality, travel, or lifestyle

Already running a live business with real results

Aligned with YOUNG’s values: entrepreneurial, daring, long-term thinker

Excited to rebrand under the YOUNG umbrella to go from local to global

What You Get

• Strategic investment and support
• Access to YOUNG’s international ecosystem
• A strong culture-led brand to scale your business
• Full autonomy – you run the show

Not For Everyone

If you’re looking for a steady salary or want to build from zero, this isn’t the right fit. We’re focusing on scalable businesses already in motion led by founders who want to grow big fast and with purpose.

• Your current business (with website, team size, revenues, proof of traction)
