WHAT IS TEENOVATION?

Dear Teens, Parents, and Partners,

Four years ago, I didn’t write a business plan.

I paused as a mother.

As a mom of teenagers, I saw the growing gap between academic success and real-life readiness. I watched bright young people overwhelmed by screens, comparison, and digital noise — yet deeply craving connection, purpose, and belonging.

Teenovation began with my own children and their friends. I started creating the opportunities I couldn’t find — volunteering, internships, leadership roles, industry exposure, adventures, meaningful social experiences.
For two years, I volunteered my time building what I believed our teens truly needed. I witnessed transformation: confidence rising, friendships strengthening, teens stepping into leadership.
That’s when I knew this couldn’t remain small.
Teenovation evolved into a sustainable, holistic ecosystem — built not as a business first, but as a mission: to give teenagers their teenage years back.
To move them beyond passive scrolling and into purposeful living. To prepare them for life — socially, emotionally, and professionally.
After years of research and listening to parents and teens, I designed the Teenovation App — the first well-rounded platform created specifically for teenagers. It brings curated opportunities, leadership pathways, entrepreneurship support, volunteering, and real-world exposure into one safe space — reducing stress for parents and empowering teens.

But beyond the app, Teenovation is a community.
A safe, inclusive environment where every teen can belong.
A space where fun meets purpose.

To the parents: I understand your concerns — because I live them.

To the teens: If you feel lost in today’s world, you are not alone. You are capable of more than you know.

Teenovation was built from lived experience, from listening, and from love.

This is more than a program.

It is preparation for life — done differently.

With heart,
Margareta Luis
