teech - Tokio Hotels Tom Kaulitz and Georg Listing, Germany's biggest creator Younes Zarou and ex-Drillisch CEO Marc Brucherseifer invest to support young people together

Darmstadt/Berlin, 05.09.24 - teech, education platform and organizer of the innovative career guidance format Inspiration Days, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a significant financing round. The new shareholders Roman Schuhmacher, Co-Founder and CPO of Personio, Meta-Manager Daniel Kramer, Marc Bucherseifer, ex-CEO of Drillisch, together with his daughter Julia, the successful creator Younes Zarou as well as Georg Listing and Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel contribute their expertise and vision to support teech on its way. The success to date is based on the support of existing investors Udo Schloemer from Factory Berlin and Rolf Schrömgens from trivago.

"We are thrilled to welcome such impressive personalities as supporters," says Joel Monaco, Co-Founder of teech. "The combination of innovative minds and experienced industry leaders will help us to further advance our mission and better support the next generation of talent - for example with the Inspiration Days."

The event, which has become Europe's largest event for career guidance and inspiration since its launch in 2021, has already inspired over 200,000 young people. From September 25 to 27, they will have the opportunity to experience role models and celebrities such as Lena Gercke, Sadhguru, Sally Özcan, Mimi Kraus and many more, who will share their success stories and career paths with the young talents, live on the teech platform and on site at Factory Berlin Mitte.

Particularly noteworthy is the diggies teachers' stage, which is hosted by education expert Viola Patricia Herrmann and head teacher Gert Mengel, the diggies podcast duo, and offers education officers valuable input on the school of tomorrow. With the diggies, the FUNKE Media Group has created an offer in the form of ready-made digital lessons that promote active learning and inspire digital enthusiasm.

"With the Inspiration Days, we show how to shape career guidance in a contemporary way," explains Emanuele Monaco. "Our aim is not only to impart knowledge, but also to pave the way to a successful future and create networks."

The afternoon will culminate in a networking event with a stage program organized by our partners Baby Got Business, Entrepreneur University, Worldchanger and Colonia Private Equity.
