Growing a Side Hustle into a Viable Business

Scratch provides online programming to help teenagers manage and grow their side hustles into viable small businesses. Little Taller worked to prepare Scratch for launch with sleek and creative brand design, product development, and an intuitive, eye-catching website.

Start Scaling with Scratch

The Scratch website was intended to guide teen entrepreneurs along the journey of launching their own business and understand the skills and tools needed to take an idea and put it into action.

Initial product development included “Start with Scratch,” a user-friendly workflow that let teens choose foundational elements like business colors, create a landing page, and connect their parent guardian.
To ensure a safe environment for kids, guardians are required for users under the age of 18. Parents are able to verify the identity of the person hiring their child and the type of work they will be doing and where.
As part of launching their business, Scratch helps teen entrepreneurs access resources like accounting tools, supporting mentors, capabilities for scheduling, and more, whether they’re selling photography services, dog walking, or yard work.

The Scratch dashboard for teens includes a resource section with the ability to customize what their business profile and branding looks like and how they promote their services, and they can list their services and set availability.
