“As a lifelong educator and educational leader I find Gen Z to be the most entrepreneurial generation of all generations. Their entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and relentless pursuit of addressing today’s challenges with creative products and services is truly inspiring. The High School Entrepreneurship Guide is the perfect tool for all high school entrepreneurs and their teachers.
— Dr. Michelle McGrath, National K-12 Speaker, Entrepreneur, Author & School Administrator
“Instead of a theoretical book on entrepreneurship, Gee has interviewed successful entrepreneurs, angel investors, startup accelerator founders, intellectual property attorneys and of course teachers and students. What he has created is the ultimate entrepreneurship book for high school teachers and their students. We are going to implement it in our Elevate startup accelerator!”
— Brandon Miles, Elevate Manager & Business Educator, Janesville School District
“The High School Entrepreneurship Guide is a must have for high school entrepreneurship teachers and their students. There are plenty of textbooks out there but this is a hard-hitting, practical step-by-step that should be used in every high school entrepreneurship course.”

“My friends and I all want to have our own businesses. This is the perfect book to show us step-by-step how to develop a business model, market the business, locate funding, identify intellectual property needs and more. It’s a must have resource for any high school entrepreneur!”
