TakeStage - Take the stage
For teen builders ages 13-22

You make things.
No one knows.

You're building at 2am. Learning. Creating things that matter (apps, art, side hustles, physical products, whatever). But without proof, no one cares. Take the stage.

500+ people already on the list

No one knows you exist

You're coding at 2am. Designing for local businesses. Mowing 15 lawns every weekend. Building furniture in your garage. Creating content people actually watch.

But there's nowhere to show it. No portfolio. No proof. No visibility.

And even when you try to share, you wonder: Is this good enough? Am I ready?

Spoiler: You are.

A place for your work to live

TakeStage is your public portfolio. Not LinkedIn. Not a resume. Just proof you can build.

🎯

Show Your Work

Projects, side hustles, experiments. Works-in-progress welcome. Digital (apps, websites, code), physical (products, furniture, merch), services (tutoring, lawn care, photography), creative (art, content, design). Add media, process notes, behind-the-scenes. Your journey matters as much as your destination. If you made it, put it on your stage.

✨

Get Verified

Teachers, mentors, clients, and people you've worked with can verify your projects. Built an app? Your co-founder verifies it. Ran a lawn care business? Your customers confirm it. Real proof from real people. Credit your collaborators. Share the spotlight. Build ensemble, not solo.

🚀

Get Found

When your work is public and searchable, opportunities find you. Collaborators. Communities. People who want what you're building. Your work speaks for itself, and we make sure the right people hear it.

Not another place to feel inadequate

Because your worth isn't measured in views. It's measured in what you make.

No Vanity Metrics

No follower counts. No like counts that make you feel small. No algorithmic pressure to perform.

Process Over Perfection

Show your rehearsals, not just opening night. Works-in-progress are not just allowed, they're celebrated.

Real Feedback

Verified endorsements from mentors who know your work. Constructive community support. Meaningful connections.

Your Privacy, Your Control

Built with teens and parents in mind. You decide who sees what. No creepy tracking. No data exploitation.

Four steps. That's it.
