We’re now recruiting 70 individuals to join our Venture Builder in October 2022 and build new businesses that tackle this mission by transforming the (1) fishing, farming & food; (2) manufacturing & supply chain; (3) construction & building operations; and (4) transport industries.
We’re looking for people with ambition, drive, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. If this sounds like you the click here to apply.
For a bit more info:
This Venture Builder will bring together talented professionals from a wide range of backgrounds including people working in corporates, start ups, research institutes, technology development (such as in data scientists), architecture, law, urban planning, construction management, shipping, manufacturing (fashion, car or food sectors), food and farming. In our last venture builder > 50% of the founders were women, 40% people of colour, and the average age was 38. We endorse UK Startup/Innovator visas so this opportunity is open to everyone around the world.
Over 40% of the 220 Founders we have backed to-date heard about the Venture Builder through word-of-mouth and personal referrals, so your help in spreading the word is really valuable.
Our first deadline for applications (June 9th) is approaching fast! Those who will apply by then will have the option to join our first pre-founders day. Places are offered on a first come first served, rolling basis.
