From the Author

The main motive for writing the plot of the story was to bring children, adolescents, and their parents closer to world of start-ups: understanding the uncertainty that accompanies the entrepreneurs and becoming familiar with the terms that children hear concerning the technological and business challenges faced by start-up companies.
The plot of the book also combines values of entrepreneurship and contribution to the community.
