THE PROBLEM

67 million teens.
Zero platforms built for them.

Every major job platform was built for adults with careers. A 16-year-old trying to get their first job at Starbucks shouldn't need a polished resume, three references, and five years of experience.

Existing platforms ignore teens

Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and LinkedIn were built for professionals. They require resumes, work history, and experience that first-time job seekers simply don't have.

⚠️

Labor law compliance is broken

Teen labor laws vary by state. Work permits, hour limits, age restrictions — no existing platform handles any of this automatically. Employers get it wrong. Teens get burned.

🚫

No guidance for first-timers

Getting your first job is terrifying. What do you wear? What do you say? How do you negotiate? Nobody teaches this. Until now.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

A $100B market with
no dominant player.

Teens earned over $100 billion in wages in the US last year. The platform connecting them to those jobs doesn't exist yet.

Platforms built

Why now?

Gen Z is mobile-first
A desktop job board is dead to them. They expect everything on their phone, fast, and simple.
AI makes personalization possible
Matching teens to the right jobs at scale was impossible before AI. Now it's our core advantage.
Labor shortage is permanent
Service businesses are desperate for reliable young workers. The demand isn't going away.

THE FOUNDER

E

Built by a teen.
For every teen.

"I built TeenWurk because I was the teenager who couldn't find a good job platform. Every app I tried was built for adults with careers — not for a 16-year-old looking for their first opportunity.

So I built what I wished existed. 174,000 lines of code. 168 screens. Every feature designed with a teen's perspective. TeenWurk is the platform I needed — and now it's for every teen in America."
