My daughter asked me to buy her a pair of expensive yoga pants when she was 14. I was tired of telling the 'when I was your age' stories to deaf ears.  She babysat and bought her first pair coming to me after saying 'It took me 8 hours to earn enough money for those pants!' I set out to teach her and all kids these valuable life lessons.

Why investors us

we've raised $49,386 since our founding
"I love the idea that employers are vetted before a teen can work for them. It makes me feel much more secure about the process. TeenJobFind is a great way for younger teens to experience working for someone other than their parents and learn the value of earning money."

The ONLY app to help teens find jobs in the community — An untapped market.

🚗 Overview

📈 Steady positive growth — with nearly 0 marketing efforts.

~85% of our users have posted more than 3x.
As of March 1, 2020, we have over 76,000 users on the early access waitlist.

😔 The REAL problem

Inviting professionals into and around your home can be a risky and scary proposition. If you do find experienced, vetted talent, it often comes with a hefty price tag. Before TeenJobFind, there was no safe, credible platform for teens to find jobs.

🔎 Our solution... TeenJobFind

From this simple idea, we've created a mobile app that provides a safe and easy solution to connect job posters with local teens in and around their neighborhood.

Investor Q&A

Expand all
What does your company do?
TeenJobFind is a company that safely matches teenagers with odd jobs in the neighborhood (babysitting, dog walking, yard work, technology help etc). We use mainstream technology to deliver a breakthrough job marketplace.  We are creating a movement that brings communities together in a way that has long since been lost while teaching today's youth valuable life lessons like work ethic, responsibility and financial independence.
Where will your company be in 5 years?
We are going to be the #1 company matching teens to community jobs across the nation!  We will also add volunteer positions, internships and more!  
Why did you choose this idea?
My daughter asked me to buy her a pair of expensive yoga pants when she was 14. I was tired of telling the 'when I was your age' stories to deaf ears.  She babysat and bought her first pair coming to me after saying 'It took me 8 hours to earn enough money for those pants!' I set out to teach her and all kids these valuable life lessons.
How do you make money?
Currently, TeenJobFind takes a percentage of every job. We take this from the Job Poster, so the teen keeps all of the money they earn. We plan to add a subscription model as well as implement advertising to increase our revenue. This is a $1.6 Billion industry!
Who are your competitors?
Skratch is our largest competitor located in Texas.
What makes you different?
We are the only company in our space that vets both the Job Posters and the teens.
How do you make TeenJobFind a safe marketplace?
Our mission at TeenJobFind is to create a safe marketplace. Our number one priority is to ensure the safety of those using our platform. We have worked hard to lay the groundwork for this by creating policies and building in features directly into our app designed with your safety in mind. All applicants are screened before we activate their account. All job posters are required to consent to a background check to screen for violent offenses, sexual offenses, and other criminal offenses that may present a safety risk to users of the app. We hire a third party to perform our background checks which includes searching the national and county-level databases going back 7 years. Background checks are conducted in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Job posters are not eligible for TeenJobFind if background checks reveal convictions or pending cases. Our teens are vetted as well. We require two references and parents must approve every job a teen takes.
