ABOUT US
YOUNG Startups is a dynamic partner for aspiring entrepreneurs who have the mindset, confidence, vision, and innovative ideas to run their own business, but lack the financial resources to effectively get started. At YOUNG Startups, we provide access to initial funding, as well as a variety of additional services to help entrepreneurs get on their feet, such as mentorship, a supportive community of like-minded individuals, and numerous networking opportunities. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the risks and challenges of starting a business. That’s why we put in all our effort to support aspiring business owners on their journey towards success and to keep their courage and confidence high, no matter what happens. This way we aim to foster a collective effort that can lead to interesting collaborations and opportunities, both within and outside our own network. But most importantly, with YOUNG Startups, we ensure the world doesn't miss out on any promising startup to arise.
