Startup101 is an educational initiative developed by AO Generația Nika and implemented by Yep!Moldova, in collaboration with UN Women Moldova and with financial support from the Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund. The program provides young people in the Republic of Moldova with essential entrepreneurial knowledge, enabling them to bring their ideas to life and develop their business management skills.

With a well-structured curriculum and high-quality training, Startup101 offers participants the opportunity to explore a variety of topics, including future skills and jobs, the concept of startups and profitable idea development, design thinking, as well as broader areas such as marketing, management, and public speaking.
