TeenCare - Emotional AI changing how parents understand their teenagers

TeenCare is a Vietnam-based technology company rethinking how families support teenagers during the most difficult years of growing up. As academic pressure, digital exposure, and emotional challenges intensify, parents are expected to guide their children with little real-time insight into what their teens are actually experiencing.TeenCare tackles this by combining live human mentors with AI-powered personalization. Weekly 1-on-1 mentoring sessions generate real behavioral data, which the platform translates into ongoing insights about each child’s motivations, triggers, and patterns. Instead of generic advice or one-off solutions, parents receive continuous, personalized guidance tailored to their teenager.Founded by Linh Hoang, who previously scaled WeGrow to 80,000 paid students, TeenCare scaled to an ARR of 1 million USD in just nine months, and has been cash flow positive since May 2025. Backed by Ascend Vietnam Ventures and Iterative, the company is now expanding into the Philippines and Singapore. In this episode, we explore how emotional AI is reshaping parenting, why trust is central to TeenCare’s model, and what this means for the future of family and youth development.Hosted by Maaike Doyer & Hester Spiegel, founders of Epic Angels.
