About Us

We're Inna and Paula. Between us, we've seen enough kids to know something wasn't working.

Many older kids felt that playgrounds were "so embarrassing" but they weren't ready to navigate the mall solo. They could text for hours but turned awkward the moment screens went away. And honestly? There was nowhere for them to just be together. Every option meant hovering parents or bored kids.

So we created Konekt.

Here's what happened next

We discovered something amazing. When kids work on whatever interests them in the same room, friendships just happen. Zero forced bonding activities. No cringey icebreakers. Just organic conversations happening everywhere. "Wait, how'd you do that?" "Can I see?" **"What are you doing this weekend?"

And just like that, they're friends. Not forced, not because we as parents made an introduction. Real friendships happen when no one’s trying to force them.

What makes us different

We built Konekt around a simple truth. They need somewhere built specifically for the in-between years. Sure, we have serious making capabilities, but half the magic is in the comfy spaces between. Cozy corners for chatting, board games for when you need a break, good snacks to share, even a karaoke setup for the brave.

It's the space we wished we'd had as kids. And the one we're thrilled to give ours.

We believe every child deserves a place where they belong.
