Fresh Ventures | Rotterdam | join.com |
Mission

We are on a mission to build a regenerative and circular food system by co-founding new mission-driven ventures. And we want you to join us.

We are looking for people with the ambition to transform our food system and have the entrepreneurial itch to address the world's most critical challenges.

The Program

The Fresh pre-studio program is a venture-building program through which we build ventures from scratch that accelerate the transition to a regenerative and circular food system. It consists of 3 months of team building, systems insights into the food system, and the early phases of venture building.
You join the Fresh program as an individual, armed with the passion to build a better system, the ambition to start a venture, and the capacity to think and do at a high level.

Fresh connects you with an ecosystem of experts and stakeholders who can accelerate your journey, helps match you with potentially life-long teammates and co-founders, and helps further your understanding of the challenges within the food system and the more promising pathways for transforming it.

At the end of the program, high-performing teams will have the opportunity to join the Fresh Studio, co-founding a steward-owned venture together with the Fresh studio team.
