[/url]Teens in Tech and Appcelerator have announced the first crop of startups accepted into the Teens in Tech Incubator.
The incubator was announced at the beginning of 2011 as a way for aspiring teen entrepreneurs to get hands-on instruction and mentorship to bring their ideas to life.
Each team includes up to three members, all of whom are 18 or younger. The teams began their work with Teens in Tech and Appcelerator June 22. The incubator program will run for six weeks at Appcelerator’s Mountain View headquarters. The young hackers and entrepreneurs have been given advice and tutelage from an all-star lineup of mentors and advisors during “office hours” events and workshops.
The teams have been schooled in design by Jesse Thomas of JESS3 fame and designer Joey Primiani. They have received coaching from investors such as Silicon Beach scion Paige Craig. And they’ve received coding and marketing tips from the makers of Seesmic, Twilio, PBWorks, Disqus, Posterous, Eventbrite, Paypal, Salesforce and more.
In a few weeks, the budding startups will present at a Demo Day during the annual Teens in Tech Conference at Palo Alto Research Center.
The startups we can expect to see demoing then are as follows:
Teens in Tech founder Daniel Brusilovsky also said, “Our new incubator program will encourage todayâs youth to start early, think big, take risks, learn from failures and gain from successes.”
“The support ecosystem inherent throughout Silicon Valley gives evidence to why the region is one of the most innovative in the world,” he said. “However, it also lays a solid blueprint for others to adopt and benefit from as well.”
