Fellowship co-create our next startups (Remote)

Jumanji Studio, a startup studio focused on positive impact, is looking for talented fellows to support its partners in inventing the next impact startups that can redefine their industry.

Description

Jumanji is a group of serial entrepreneurs dedicated to reinventing lifestyles that protect and regenerate the planet. Since 2019, we launched 7 startups, brought in 10 entrepreneurs (50% female), a community of 70 advisors, exited our 1st startup, turned 2 of them to profitability, and raised a cumulative 5m€.

Our mission is to reinvent ways of living and consuming, to find models that enable human beings to flourish within the planetary boundaries. In doing so, we partner with entrepreneurs, advisors, experts and fellows (volunteers) to catalyze the brains and energy needed to successfully launch new startups.

We are looking for Fellows who will co-create our next startups!

What is a Fellowship for us?

The Jumanji Fellowship is an opportunity we have specifically designed for driven, eco-conscious individuals starting out their career, designing new career path towards more impact, or who want to contribute to social entrepreneurship but do not know in what way.

We welcome 10-20 new Fellows each year, go meet our fellows on our website !

Tasks

What will be the main mission for this Fellowship?

The fellow will work closely with one of the Jumanji partners to either:

Invent a new startup : we work out an idea together, and your task will be to develop it into a startup concept (market research, experts interviews, strategic landscaping/benchmarking, customer/user research, tech applicability, business modeling, branding, landing page etc).

or

Charter a field of impact innovation: we pick a sector with you and you work on possible startup ideas within the sector: look for the positive and negative impacts of the sector, existing players, interview sector experts, uncover exciting innovation happening in different countries etc. and then propose 2-5 startup ideas in this sector.

At this stage, the 2 approaches are possible and valuable to us, you can choose one based on what you expect this fellowship to bring you.

Requirements

Who are we looking for?

You need to come with sheer optimism, a positive energy, a persevering courage, and an open mindset.

We want to work with people who have a real ambition for the planet. If you see yourself as dedicating all your skills for a positive change, then we’ll show you it’s possible.

You’ll be your own boss!

Start date: ideally from ASAP

Flexible hours: It can be full or part time; it can just be some hours a week with follow up with one of Jumanji’s Partner.

Time commitment : we expect you to be around for at least 2 months (full-ish time) and up to 6 months (part time).

Location: We don’t care, you work from anywhere. You are welcome in our Paris, Biarritz, Bodeaux or Toulouse office anytime.

Unpaid opportunity: at this stage, we are not in a position to pay our fellows so we need to be upfront about this, it only works if it’s a win-win for you and us.
