Fresh Ventures is a startup studio that builds ventures using systems thinking and ecosystem approach to address some of the most important challenges in our agrifood system. Our venture Studio, where we build ventures from scratch, is preceded by a program of 25-30 individuals who over four-months form teams and work towards early prototypes that address these challenges.
Main purpose is to support ventures within our studio directly and help the Fresh team to enable ventures to make faster progress.
This will involve helping to develop different products and services, understanding users/ stakeholders and using appropriate channels to reach them, growing your abilities in business and financial modelling. You will also help the Fresh core team to accelerate teams in our care.
Effectively, this role is an entrepreneur-in-training opportunity for people who have the ambition to become an impact-first founder or are interested in systemic start-up support. You’ll learn a lot about start-up methods and tools, whilst being involved in getting systemic ventures off the ground. You will sharpen your own business development skills and understanding of how early stage ventures validation and de-risking work.
Beyond helping teams with entrepreneurial needs and questions, your role will be to support our Venture Lead and Studio Lead developing fertile ground for ventures to seed and develop, as well as help with quick fixes day to day.
