mYouth

mYouth 2.0 is a program co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, dedicated to young people who want to build apps that make the world a little better, while also developing their entrepreneurial skills.

Organized in 12 countries on three continents (Europe, Asia and Africa), mYouth 2.0 provides selected teams with mentoring, free courses, business training, international hackathons, international exposure, the chance to win a prize at the European Youth Award and more!

So if you are a citizen of Romania or Moldova (or reside in these countries) aged under 33 and you are building an app that helps make the world a little better, we want to see your application!

3 of the applications will get the chance to participate in the European hackathon in Austria in July, where they will compete for the chance to participate in a business bootcamp in Macedonia, as well as for a prize at the European Youth Awards.

In Romania, the program is managed by Risky Business Ventures, the first Romanian pre-seed fund and accelerator. This particular application is for the Romanian edition of the project.

FAQ

1. What events do I need to take part in if I get selected?
It is compulsory for a team member of each selected teams to participate in the hackathon held in Austria in July. Also, if selected, one team member needs to take parts in the business training in Macedonia in late August and the European Youth Awards festivity in late November. All travel, accommodation and food costs are covered by the project.

2. Can I apply if I'm at idea stage?
We are looking for apps that are at least at the MVP stage. However, you still have time to organize a mini-hackathon for your team and create something we can look at.

3. I have other questions. What do I do?
Write to us at ana.maria@riskybusiness.ro and we will answer you.

Good luck!
