About Yepstr

We have four values at Yepstr. Passion for the Mission, Know your neighbor, Pippi and Get-shit-done-artist. We look forward to explaining more in detail when we meet :)

Yepstr is currently 15 full-time employees so in the scheme of things we are still quite small. But if we include all the Young Entrepreneurs that work for us every day then we are in fact thousands of employees.

What sets us apart? Something we often hear is that at Yepstr we really believe in our team. So you won't find any micro-management here. Second, we also often hear that we're pretty unique in that we don't just talk about doing something good - we actually do. We built Yepstr to help young people take the step into adulthood and that's something we will never let go of.

Curious about how Yepstr makes a difference?
