Overview Equity-Based | Founder-Led | Backed by YOUNG
At the United Kingdom, we’re not building from scratch — we’re partnering with proven founders to take existing ventures to the next level.
YOUNG is aiming for companies to participate in and transform to a YOUNG Company and identity under our umbrella.
Who we’re looking for 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.
Your business should have :
At least 1–2 years of proven operation
Market traction and clear growth potential
A founder ready to stay in the driver’s seat
Backed by YOUNG, you’ll keep full ownership of operations — while gaining access to capital, brand power, and global know‐how.
This is not a job — it’s a partnership. We’ll typically come in as minority shareholders, offering deep strategic support without day‐to‐day involvement.
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.
