New Roles of the Month: September. Four open positions across the YOUNG ecosystem, from The Hague to Dénia.
In a world where the established dominate, and influential networks or financial power seem like the only catalysts for success, we’re here to prove the opposite.
We build businesses across real estate, hospitality, media and beyond, united under the YOUNG brand. By bringing together entrepreneurs, talent and capital, we help these businesses grow and strengthen one another.
Different businesses, one name. Each one run by people who own its success.
Different businesses, one name. Here is what each YOUNG venture does, where you can find it and how it fits into the group.
Places people want to come back to.

We invest in and develop hotel concepts that go beyond accommodation: places that shape atmosphere, create memory and turn a stay into something meaningful.
From boutique hotels to distinctive urban properties, every detail is considered for coherence, not spectacle.

We develop hospitality concepts designed to create places people genuinely want to return to. Each one is grounded in its location, driven by character and built with long-term intent.
Ownership, operations and creative direction come together under one vision.

Hospitality in its simplest form: good coffee, good people and technology that quietly makes everything easier.
There are no baristas, there are hosts. Smart machines and frictionless orders let the space work for you, so a visit feels like a natural flow instead of a transaction.
The buildings and spaces our businesses live in.

A versatile investment and development company focused on innovative real estate solutions, with a portfolio that spans residential and commercial properties.
We acquire and revitalise properties, then manage and optimise them to add lasting value.

Emmen, DrentheVisit websiteYOUNG is not a single business. It is an ecosystem of ventures built around ownership, execution and long-term thinking.
We build companies that stand on their own, but move faster together.

Long before YOUNG existed as a group, its founder, Wim de Jong, was already building. Selling cookies at school at 12, organising alcohol-free events for young people, sourcing leather jackets in Italy to sell in his hometown.
Everything was driven by one thing: action.
Those early ventures were a continuous way of learning how to create value. They generated his first capital and, eventually, his first real estate asset. In his early twenties Wim registered the name YOUNG, the start of a platform to build, own and grow ventures for the long term.
All our ventures share the same three values, and so do the people behind them.
We act fast, stay flexible and adapt quickly, whatever the circumstances, so we are always ready to evolve.
Being true to yourself, honest and sincere with others. We look at the person behind the title, not the CV.
We go the extra mile and never give up. That drive is what pushes growth, and it is contagious.
The first real scale came through real estate, with a strong track record in boutique development across the Netherlands.
A defining chapter was the transformation of the Seven Cities site in Rijswijk, part of a portfolio of 20,000 m² of developed space that gained national media recognition.

Through connections built in real estate, YOUNG acquired Vastgoed Visie (VG Visie), creating YOUNG Media.
The Post Online and the youth magazine Pauze followed, forming the base of a growing portfolio of media brands.

The original development company closed, marking the shift from a single business to a group of ventures.
Its activities continued through ReBirth Development, led by former CEO Nanne Venstra as partner and co-founder, including a major project in Curaçao.

With the Zeestraat building in The Hague came a key insight: owning assets creates value, but operating them unlocks much more.
That idea became YOUNG Workspaces, turning buildings into active businesses through coworking and flexible offices, now growing across the Netherlands and Spain.

In late 2024 YOUNG expanded to Spain, starting in Valencia, which quickly became a second core hub for the group.
The team grew fast and international, and leadership was strengthened with Valeria Zancaner as CEO and Juan Cruz Mesigos as COO.

YOUNG entered hospitality with La Casa del Pantano in Spain as its flagship, alongside the Learning Hotel concept in the Netherlands, which combines hospitality with training and developing talent.
Felipe Robles joined as co-founder in early 2026.

Launched in Valencia, with its first flagship location opening after a full development and renovation. The concept focuses on quality, speed and smooth operations.

Launched in the Netherlands at the end of 2025, starting with Brasserie Runners in The Hague. The platform to build and grow founder-led concepts across food, drinks and guest experience.

Created to make real, tangible impact, from supporting young talent through entrepreneurship and sports to simple actions like free water across YOUNG hospitality concepts.
The talent engine of the ecosystem. It finds entrepreneurial people, future leaders and strong operators, and connects them with opportunities across YOUNG ventures.

YOUNG keeps building what comes next, including YOUNG Central Kitchen, YOUNG Partners, YOUNG.Beach Club and the first YOUNG collection.
Today YOUNG is a group of founder-led companies built to operate independently, but designed to move faster together through shared infrastructure, capital and experience.
Each venture has its own leadership, ownership and responsibility. Being part of YOUNG means access to a platform that speeds up growth, from strategy and brand to talent and execution.
We partner with entrepreneurs to turn our brands and concepts into thriving businesses. You bring the drive to run it. We bring the brand, the places and the network behind you.
Three steps, from concept to a business you own.
Our brands, standards and playbooks give you a head start from day one.
