WeGroYou is the campus, the NPO and the school. Wegro.africa is the program it runs on.
How it fits togetherHow it works
Each vertical operator runs as an independent tenant brand. WeGroYou owns the umbrella experience: bednights, lifestyle, hospitality, the foodtech lab, and the integrated story.
Long-term tenancy
Multi-year tenant contracts with the umbrella entity and the campus lease.
Shared amenities
Gym, recovery, food, lab, workspace, accommodation — pool of resources, fair-use model.
Bednights revenue share
Every vertical generates and consumes bednights. Pool revenue, share by allocation.
Joint marketing
One brand at the top, four programs underneath. Cross-traffic by design.
Foodtech lab access
Tenants get scheduled access to the kitchen + lab; ventures get prioritised access.
LOI then contract
We move from concept → LOI → tenancy contract. The site itself is the concept doc.
