When smart people come together, great things happen and we are looking for these smart people with a founder mentality to help us do exactly that. We are constantly experimenting, validating new problems, and building more solutions for us as well as our startups and we’re looking for the right person to accelerate all of it.
We’re a mission driven startup studio (read more here) that builds impact oriented startups to better the mind, body and the earth. We work with Founders as their institutional co-founder until their venture is a self-sufficient organisation and ready to scale. But we are not just advisors, mentors, investors, incubators or accelerators - we are all of these! We are always co-building with the Founder, creatively, conscientiously, through the power of communities.
