Our Goal

Teen Combinator offers a team of teenagers with an idea the platform to continue to work on their goal throughout the school year. All the while getting support and mentorship from experienced professionals, helping to refine the idea and streamline the team. Oh, and did we mention getting paid a stipend while doing so?

What we need from you

You must be able to:
  1. Assemble a group of 2 or more like-minded individuals who will take this challenge with you
  2. Stay involved and interested throughout the school year
  3. Work with older, more experienced mentors who are dedicated to seeing you succeed 
  4. Produce an application video that will be reviewed by the Teen Combinator selection committee.

Simple. In addition, you will be receiving a stipend for your efforts. Making cash while pursuing your dream sounds like a win-win to me.

How It's Reviewed

We here at Teen Combinator take pride in the level of attention we are able to provide to our students. The downside is that the program has to be exclusive in order to achieve this high quality of mentorship. This is why we must analyze your application video (where you're expected to make your case) before going on to invite the highest caliber applicants to interview personally with our selection committee.

What You Can Expect After Being Accepted

After being admitted into our illustrious program you can expect an immediate kick-off meeting with your mentor and the head of Teen Combinator to go over your ideas, plans, and goals in more depth. Once completed you and your team will begin work on the project, sending weekly emails to your mentor regarding your progress, success, and concerns. You will also have an in person (or online) meeting with your mentor to discuss in further detail what needs to be done to achieve your goals for the project once a month. We also have our Annual Demo Day where you can present your project to parents, sponsors, and developers and hear from past Teen Combinator participants on their lives since the program.

Mentorship Program

​An integral part of the Teen Combinator program is the participation and contribution of mentors (young and old) who want to give back and help young people to have successful entrepreneurship experiences during their teenage years.
