Hello,

My name is Hito. I am 16, and I love coming up with business ideas. Most of my ideas fall around tech. I am starting to grow my company called Zork (I am currently the only employee). I do the web/app development , research, and the marketing.

When working on one of my projects, The Hideout, I realized I needed help with marketing, buttttt I didn’t want to work with older people. I needed to find a community of young, skilled entrepreneurs. THENNN BOOOMMM, another idea struck. What if I make a platform that connects young entrepreneurs and young founders together?

The concept is like Tinder… Let’s say you are looking for a frontend developer. You search on the web app, and you go through a whole catalog of devs. Swipe right to connect, swipe left if you’re not interested. Simple, right?

If you are a young entrepreneur, founder, or just looking to connect with your peers,

      You’re completely missing the point. This isn’t a job registry. It’s a networking space for young builders.

      There are thousands of high school students who are genuinely passionate about coding, graphic design, creating clothing brands, or launching digital projects. I’m 16 myself, and I spend a few hours a day working on projects because I genuinely enjoy building things, getting feedback, and networking with other people who have the same mindset. Nobody is forcing me to do it.

      Why would a teen build a platform for child labor?

      We are fully aware of internet safety. That’s exactly why the platform won’t handle financial transactions, won’t post real-world job listings, and will have strict moderation to keep malicious users out.

      Adults have LinkedIn, GitHub, and Twitter to find collaborators and connect with people in their industry. Why shouldn’t teen creators have a safe space to find co-founders, meet other builders, and work on cool projects together?

      Not everything young people build has to be treated like exploitation. Sometimes people just want to create things and connect with others who share the same interests.
