Seven new shareholders for Start-up Teens

The initiative is able to gain further well-known supporters and founds a talent agency.

Empowering school pupils in Germany to think and act entrepreneurially - that is the vision of the Start-up Teens network. The network has now gained seven new partners, as the Handelsblatt reports. These include Stefanie Senger from the Senger car dealership group, Flaschenpost founder Stephen Weich and Jens Fiege from the Fiege logistics group. Georgia Näder, Matthias Bruch, Paul Feldhoff and Kim Höhne are now also on board. They join the existing 15 shareholders.

"I am passionate about the initiative. I'm looking forward to introducing young people who weren't lucky enough to be born into an entrepreneurial family to entrepreneurial thinking," says entrepreneur Senger in Handelsblatt.

Start-up Teens is a non-profit organization that offers young people and companies a platform to learn from each other. "We teach young people relevant future skills - things they don't learn at school, such as entrepreneurial thinking, coding and personal development," says the initiative. The initiative attaches particular importance to equal opportunities. Therefore, all programs offered are free of charge. In addition to the program, the initiative has now also developed the GenZ Talents platform, where young people can find internships.
