How We Build
YOUNG
At YOUNG, we’re not a single company — we’re a growing ecosystem of fearless entrepreneurs, ventures, and investments, all united by one idea:
Unite to Disrupt.
We grow YOUNG across proven, scalable markets using a smart mix of models — always tailored to the opportunity, the people, and the timing.
Below is how we build, support, and scale the YOUNG brand globally.

Incubation
We build YOUNG ventures from scratch through our in-house Incubator Program.
Every company starts with a bold idea, a strong co-founder, and full support from the YOUNG ecosystem — branding, legal, finance, storytelling, and more. We believe in starting small, learning fast, and scaling only what works.
Majority Shareholding
In some ventures, we take a large stake and become an active long-term partner.
These are typically strategic companies where we combine capital, brand, and operational guidance — working closely with founders, without controlling the day-to-day.
Our focus is on building strong companies with aligned teams, a clear mission, and scalable potential. Ownership, for us, means commitment — not control.
NO GUTS NO BUSINESS

Licensing
We license the YOUNG brand to strong local operators and entrepreneurial teams.
These partners run their own businesses under the YOUNG name — combining their local execution power with our international brand, playbooks, and community.
We remain closely involved as brand stewards — aligning on strategy and values — while giving each license partner full operational freedom.
This model allows us to scale fast, stay lean, and build trusted YOUNG experiences worldwide.
Minority Shareholding
We also invest in companies where we take a smaller, strategic stake.
These ventures are often led by independent founders who align with our values — and where our brand, network, or experience adds real upside.
By staying flexible in our role, we support more entrepreneurs — and stay connected to what’s next.
Non-Profit Ventures
Impact is part of who we are.
Through the YOUNG Foundation, we support young entrepreneurs who dare to dream but lack access, confidence, or a starting point.
We offer workshops, mentorships, funding and challenges that help turn raw potential into real progress — always rooted in our belief that entrepreneurship is a mindset, not a privilege.
Whether it’s their first pitch, first failure, or first big break — we’re there.
Because for us, business and purpose aren’t opposites. They’re part of the same mission:
to build a future worth passing on.
Flexible by Design. Focused by DNA.
Each of these models gives us the flexibility to grow in different ways — across industries, countries and cultures — without losing our identity.
We adapt to what each opportunity needs, but stay true to the same core:
strong people, strong brands, long-term value.
