Teenovator

Teenovator is a non-profit initiative, which aims to establish connection between the startup ecosystem and the students in Bulgarian high schools. The program started in 2018. It is free-of charge and open to all interested teenagers. Students from 10th and 11th grades (16-18yo), within one school year, meet with their mentors (entrepreneurs and startup leaders) once a week. Teenovator is conducted in-person or blended in big cities and online in remote areas. So far, more than 1000 teenagers from 30 locations and 100 mentors took part in the program. Teenovator is already a recognizable initiative with growing network of partners, sponsors and supporters from the Bulgarian startup ecosystem. It is supported by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Innovation and Growth, Sofia Municipality, Telerik Academy, InterCulture Foundation and many other organizations.
