Young Venture Group was founded by Wim de Jong. Wim de Jong was born in 1982 in The Hague.

At the age of 12 Wim started selling coffee and cakes in the forest across his family house. A few years later he started to trade in used motorcycles from his parents’ backyard.
The ambition to be an entrepreneur started at a young age.

This all resulted in a broad-based real estate organization under the name Young Group. The company has been in the PropertyNL top 50 developers in the Netherlands four times in a row. One of the highlights was the purchase in 2016 of 13,000 m2 (vacant), known as Seven Cities Complex .
