The Home Basefor teens of Nocatee.
A dedicated spot to drop your bag, find your crew, and do your thing — game, build, or just exist without buying a $7 latte.
Founding rate $59/mo, locked for life. Nothing charged until a parent confirms.
What do you actually do around Nocatee?
Ride ebikes and golf carts. Hit the pool. Post up at Starbucks. Or stay home and scroll. Not because that's what you want — because that's what's been left for you to do. Nobody built anything real for you here. So we did — and the first 100 members get to decide what it becomes.
A teenager isn't a customer to be entertained. A teenager is a builder who hasn't been handed the tools yet.
The Teen Lounge is built on four things Nocatee has been missing. This isn't a program. It isn't daycare. It's a home base — one you help run.
Stop performing for a group chat or worrying about who invited who. Walk in, drop your bag, and find your people without the social overhead.
Somewhere you're actually proud to bring your friends. Not a table at Starbucks. Not the pool deck. A real place with your name on it.
You help plan what happens here. Games, tournaments, workshops, themed nights — every week something new, and you had a say in it.
This place looks like you. Not someone's idea of you.
Nobody in this room has done this before. You're not joining something. You're starting it.
The founding class writes the culture. The traditions, the events, the vibe, the language — the stuff every teen who walks in after you will inherit. You get in early or you don't get in early. There's no version two of day one.
More than a hangout spot.
The Lounge sits inside The Link—Nocatee's active tech and innovation center. You’re sharing a roof with real founders, creators, and startups building actual companies.
Gaming hub, pool table, ping pong, foosball, and space to unwind. High energy when you want a tournament, comfortable couches when you just want to put your headphones on.
Fast WiFi, massive workspace setups, rolling whiteboards, and a real workspace. Smash your assignments, write your college essays, or build your side projects here in half the time so your night is completely yours.
Workshops on the stuff school skips: money, AI tools, and getting into college — taught by people who just did it.
Ten seats. Real titles. A leadership line on your college app that's actually true.
The first-ever Teen Council runs the Lounge alongside staff. You'll earn real leadership experience, real volunteer hours, and a line on your college app that isn't fake.

We asked before we built.
We sat down with dozens of Nocatee teens and asked one question: what's actually missing? The answers barely varied — a real place to hang, good setups, food, and no one hovering. So that's what we built, and the founding class runs it from here.
Everything, in one flat rate.
The membership pays for itself.
You're already spending this money — on stuff that's gone by the end of the week. The average teen burns $40–50 a month on food runs, rides, and movie tickets that add up to nothing. Founding membership is $59/mo, locked for life, for a 22,500 sq ft space you can use six days a week. Come twice a week and it's less than a couple of coffees per visit.
Food & drink runs
$40–50 a month quietly disappears on snacks, coffee, and quick bites.
Getting around
Rides to Jax and back for something to do add up fast — and you're home by 9.
Movie nights
$25+ for a couple hours you can't repeat, and you barely talk to anyone.
Founding membership is $59/mo — locked for life — for a 22,500 sq ft home base you can use six days a week. Come twice a week and it's less than $2 a visit.
Join early. Lock your rate forever.
The founding rate rises as more teens sign up. Whatever rate you join at is your rate for life. It never goes up on you.
Nothing charged until your parent confirms. Cancel anytime.
Bring your friends. Take money off your own.
Every friend who joins with your link takes $25 off your next month. No cap. Four friends and your month is free. Founding rate applies to them too — you're literally saving them money by inviting them.
Credit applies once your own membership is active.
Why we built this.
I'm Raghu Misra. I built The Link as a 22,500 sq ft innovation center in Nocatee — a place where founders, creators, and startups build real companies under one roof. And I kept noticing the same thing: this community is full of teenagers with real drive and real curiosity, and nowhere to point it. School ends, and the options are a parking lot, a coffee shop, or a screen.
So we built the Teen Lounge inside The Link — not a program, not daycare, but a home base where teens are treated like builders instead of babysat. Same building as the founders. Same energy. A real place that's theirs.
— Raghu Misra, Founder, The Link
Freedom for them, peace of mind for you.
You want them off the couch and off their phones — but "go find something to do" in Nocatee usually means a parking lot or a screen. The Teen Lounge is the third option: a secure, staffed, substance-free space inside a real innovation center. Verified Safe: Controlled access with adult oversight every single hour. Resume Stack: Through our Teen Council, they earn real, verifiable volunteer hours and authentic leadership lines for college applications. The Best Habit: They exchange isolated scrolling for real-world collaboration around tech, fitness, and networking.
