Story

Hey! I'm Theo, a 16 year old from New York City.

I started Teen Talent because I wanted to help my friends and other teenagers find opportunities that they wouldn't otherwise have access to. Over the summer of 2022, I worked as a software engineering intern at a niche tech company called Vestaboard. I was given the opportunity completely out of luck to experience what it's like to work at a tech company and have real responsibilities other than school. Hopefully my teachers aren't reading this, but working at a tech company is actually easier and more fun than school.

I originally came up with the idea after my summer internship was over because I was talking to a few friends about how they spent their summers. I realized that for 99% of teenagers across the US, it was almost impossible to find a job or internship at a non-entry-level position. I wanted to change that.
