Slush has launched the first-ever Slush 20 Under 20 program, aimed at recognizing twenty extraordinary young talents from various countries. This initiative showcases their remarkable achievements in technology and entrepreneurship before they turn 20, including building rockets, robots, satellites, and AI companies, highlighting how youth are pushing boundaries in innovation.
These young individuals, among whom the youngest is just 15, have collectively raised over €10 million in venture funding. Notable figures include Elliot Norrevik, the youngest accepted into Y Combinator, and Devesh Khilnani, who started working at NASA at only 18. Each participant exemplifies the potential of youth-driven innovation.
Slush 20U20 aims to inspire greater recognition and support for young innovators, emphasizing the need to invest in this emerging talent pool.
