Who we are

staYoung is a pioneering longevity and health-tech venture, co-founded by TV personality, science journalist and five-time bestselling author Nina Ruge and Christian Kruse. With a strong foundation in media, science, and communications, staYoung combines vast media reach, trusted media collaborations, and deep expertise in the field of healthy longevity. The company is currently preparing a new venture, for which it is seeking a CEO and Co-Founder.

What we do

staYoung is building a Health Guide — a new, science-based benchmark that acts like a compass for prevention. It is the missing entry point that helps people finally understand where they stand and what steps to take toward healthier, enjoyable lives. Unlike wearables or medical reports that are complex or exclusive, the Health Guide is designed for everyone: simple, motivating, and made to inspire action. To accelerate time-to-market, we are pursuing a partnership with a proven and commercially successful platform-partner ready to support our vision. We have already secured interest from leading investors, established media platforms, and top-tier scientific institutions.

Where you come in

We are looking for a Co-Founder & CEO with a proven track record in building and scaling platform companies. Ideally, you bring strong experience in commercial leadership, company building, and fundraising, coupled with a genuine interest in prevention and health longevity. Your role will be to:

• Lead our new venture from stealth mode into a trusted consumer platform.
• Drive company building, fundraising, and strategic scaling.

Your qualifications

• Demonstrated success in building and scaling a platform-based business.

What we offer

• A co-founder opportunity with attractive equity and compensation.
• The chance to create a category-defining venture in preventive health.
• Momentum from secured interest by leading investors, major media groups, and a top scientific-medical brand.
• A high-impact role shaping the future of longevity and preventive health at scale.
