This study examines the scaling process of JovenSalud.net, a nonprofit digital platform for adolescent health promotion in Central America, led by TeenSmart International, as part of the 18-month 'Transition to Scale' initiative (2022-2023). The evaluation combined platform analysis (41,550 new registrations; 9087 sexual and reproductive health enrollments; 1739 course completions) and experience systematization as a methodology. Quantitative findings demonstrated substantial improvements in sexual and reproductive health knowledge and attitudes among graduates, along with increased condom use, rejection of unsafe sex practices, awareness of STIs and breast health, and understanding of the benefits of delaying sexual activity. From these data, five critical success factors emerged: (1) unique value proposition and competitive advantage, (2) technological innovation and modernization, (3) strategic alliances, (4) a diversified marketing and promotion strategy, and (5) a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems. Conversely, five key barriers were identified: (1) complex regulatory and political environments impede the formation of sustained advocacy partnerships, (2) limited promotional budgets constrain effective marketing and user outreach, (3) unstable, diversified funding streams challenge long-term financial sustainability, (4) technological inequities and low digital skills hinder platform adoption and (5) continuous technological change demands ongoing investment in team skills and infrastructure.
