Co-create your next venture with KRING!
At KRING, we partner with entrepreneurs to build ventures that shape a better future. We are a venture studio & fund that builds and invests in companies driving positive impact for planetary and human health, mainly focusing on software technologies. We build from scratch, invest early, and co-create with ambition. Our team brings hands-on experience across product, brand, operations, and growth — plus the funding and network to make it happen.
We are constantly seeking entrepreneurs to co-create and launch new ventures with. This is a unique opportunity to join us as an Entrepreneur in Residence for 3-6 months, where you'll collaborate with our team to turn opportunities into a high-impact business. If we successfully validate the venture, we will spin it out as a separate company, and KRING will support you as a partner in scaling the venture.
Requirements
As an Entrepreneur in Residence, you’ll work closely with KRING’s experienced team of entrepreneurs to explore and validate new business ideas in the energy or health sector. You will build and shape a new venture, with the goal of spinning it out as a scalable company where you take on the role of founder.
What You’ll Do:
Co-Build a Business: Collaborate with KRING to structure the business, develop go-to-market strategies, and refine the business model, all while focusing on making it scalable and sustainable.
Validate and Test: Work on market validation and product testing to ensure commercial viability. We’ll guide you in refining your value proposition and preparing the company for market entry.
Leverage Our Network: Gain access to KRING’s network of corporate partners, advisors, and industry leaders to help accelerate your venture’s growth.
Receive Pre-Seed Capital: If the business is validated, KRING will provide pre-seed funding to help launch the company, with you as the founder and KRING as a co-creator and supporter.

Strategic Thinking with a Hands-On Attitude: You’re a doer and a thinker. You approach complex challenges with a clear strategic lens, but you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves to test, learn, and iterate quickly in the early days of a venture.
Learning-Driven & Feedback-Oriented: You have a growth mindset and see every challenge as an opportunity to learn. You value honest feedback, are quick to adapt, and constantly strive to get better for yourself, your team, and the venture.
