Women Entrepreneurs for Good | Rethinking Teen Mental Health in the Digital Age

“It is possible to do it differently.” Yana Fanadeland, founder of Teen Safe Space, is building a digital mental health platform designed specifically for teenagers across Europe. Created with privacy-by-design principles and backed by mental health experts, the platform helps young people navigate questions around puberty, friendships, and well-being — in a safe and trusted environment. Selected among the top finalists of the Women’s Forum competition, Yana joined the AGC Incubator, accelerating her venture with the support of mentors and a strong entrepreneurial network. Her journey highlights the challenges many founders face: • Proving the validity of a new business model • Defending the importance of impact-driven solutions • Staying true to your vision despite external doubts Her advice to aspiring women founders? Talk to the people you are building for. Listen to their lived experience. And build with them in mind. #WomenEntrepreneursForGood #DigitalHealth #MentalHealth #ImpactEntrepreneurship #HECParis
