LinkTeen is a safe, structured professional ecosystem for teens — a real home for every win, every skill, every ambition.
“Every teen is building something real — a skill, a project, a dream. I wanted to create a place where those wins actually count, no matter how big or small.”
To connect teens across the globe and give every teen a professional home for their wins — whether it's STEM, art, music, dance, or anything in between. Every win counts.
When Shwasa MV was 13, in 8th grade, she tried to create a LinkedIn profile. She had real things to show — research, competition scores, years of work. LinkedIn turned her away: too young, it said. You have to be 16.
But the achievements were real. So was the question that came next: where was she supposed to put them?
She looked around and saw the same gap everywhere. Teens coding apps, performing music, winning science fairs, making art, dancing on stage — incredible work, with no single place to hold it. LinkedIn was built for adults. Instagram was built for photos. Nothing took a teen's wins seriously, no matter what kind of win it was.
“It doesn't matter if you won a national competition or just learned your first chord. Both deserve a place to be celebrated.”
That gap became LinkTeen — officially founded and registered in August 2025, during freshman year of high school. The vision: a safe, non-profit, globally connected professional home for teens, built by a teen who ran into the exact problem she set out to solve.
