Skratch is a mobile gig platform that connects teens looking for flexible work opportunities with neighbors needing extra help. It provides a safe way for Gen Z to earn money through tasks like tutoring, childcare, or technology help. The platform has seen success in its Dallas pilot and plans to expand to more cities. Skratch aims to scale its user base to over 125,000 by addressing the lack of work opportunities for teens while capitalizing on the growing gig economy market. Revenue will come from transaction fees on the platform and licensing the software to strategic partners.
