Through an innovative and educational marketplace we will help reduce youth unemployment and create the next generation of entrepreneurs. If you are passionate about actually having an impact and improving the world we live in – then this is the ship you need to board.

Although we were just recently founded we have very strong supporters such as one of Sweden’s 10 richest people, one of the founders of one of the largest asset management companies in the world and one of the first 10 people at Spotify.

At yepstr we look for four core values in our team-members:

1. Owners – we all own yepstr and flag if something is holding us back
2. Humble attitude – we want to keep learning and treat people with respect
3. Entrepreneurial mindset – we don’t mind working when there is risk and ambiguity invovled… in fact we like it
4. People who enjoy feeling the wind in their hair – we look for “closers”, people who get shit done… fast

If you think the above sounds like you give us a call, lets have coffee and we’ll tell you more.
