Seven new shareholders for start-up Teens

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

Empowering students in Germany to think and act entrepreneurially - that is the vision of the Start-up Teens network. Now the network has been able to gain no fewer than seven new shareholders, as the Handelsblatt reports. Among them are Stefanie Senger, from the Senger car dealership group, the Flaschenpost founder Stephen Weich and Jens Fiege, from the Fiege logistics group. Also Georgia Näder, Matthias break, Paul Feldhoff and Kim Höhne are now with it. They thus complement the previous 15 shareholders.

"I am on fire for the initiative. I am happy to introduce entrepreneurial thinking to young people who were not lucky enough to be born into an entrepreneurial family," says entrepreneur Senger in Handelsblatt.

Start-up Teens is a non-profit organization that provides a platform for young people and companies to learn from each other. "We teach young people relevant future skills - things they don't learn in school like entrepreneurial thinking, coding and personality development," the initiative says. The initiative places a special emphasis on equal opportunities, it said. Therefore, all programs offered are free of charge. In addition to the program, the initiative has now developed the GenZ Talents platform, where young people can find internships.
