About us
Our story
Once upon a time
Young Global Living, aka YGL, was nothing but an idea in Oscar’s head. Oscar, our CEO, was then the Managing-Director of Short Stay Citizens or SSC for short. This is our sister company, founded in 2015 by some entrepreneurial friends.
We received funding!
Oscar rounded up his fellow founders once again and devised a grand plan. Some time went on, and the founder-friends were busy meeting and talking to the right people. The busy-bees worked very hard and it all paid off.
YGL officially exists!
And that’s where the real work started. The platform had to be developed, our amazing team of employees and interns were hired, and we continued talking to the best people in the coliving sector. YGL was born in May 2020 during a pandemic and is still going forward.
Today we have...
12,000+
Coliving Spaces
36
Countries
1,035+
Colivers
Our mission is to promote the coliving movement globally by making YGL the worldwide, independent co-living platform.
Our vision is to make coliving mainstream by allowing anyone to easily browse, select and book whatever suits your lifestyle.
