Start-Up Seniors

When life gives you lemons, sometimes you need a little wisdom from your elders to make lemonade—or, in this case, a wildly successful startup. In *Start-Up Seniors*, three down-on-their-luck millennials—Emma, Jake, and Lily—return to their sleepy hometown after their big-city dreams come crashing down. With no jobs, no prospects, and no clue how to turn things around, they're left grasping at straws until a surprising offer from an unexpected source changes everything. Enter Eleanor, Emma's no-nonsense, tech-savvy grandmother. Once a trailblazer in the early days of the dot-com boom, Eleanor's got the cash, the experience, and more than a few tricks up her sleeve. She's willing to fund the trio's fledgling startup on one condition: they have to listen to her—and that includes embracing her old-school advice, even when it seems hilariously out of touch. The friends' startup idea? An offbeat app called "Life Link" that connects users with personalized life advice from retired seniors. What starts as a quirky side project quickly gains traction, turning their lives upside down. But when Eleanor secretly adds a matchmaking feature to the app, chaos ensues. Now, not only are users getting advice, but they're also being paired up romantically—sometimes with disastrously funny results. As Life Link goes viral, Emma, Jake, and Lily find themselves caught in a whirlwind of success, romantic entanglements, and the inevitable generational clash between Eleanor's timeless wisdom and their modern ambition. Jake starts receiving flirty texts from his childhood babysitter, Lily's unresolved feelings for an ex come roaring back, and Emma discovers a growing attraction to a charming older man she meets through the app. Amidst the hilarity and heartache, the trio must navigate the pressures of entrepreneurship while keeping their friendships intact. As they struggle to balance personal and professional chaos, they'll learn that the real measure of success isn't just in the numbers—it's in the people who stand by you through thick and thin. *Start-Up Seniors* is a delightful, laugh-out-loud story that celebrates the power of friendship, the value of wisdom across generations, and the messy, beautiful journey of finding your way in the world. Perfect for fans of feel-good comedies and anyone who's ever taken a chance on something new. This book is a reminder that the best advice sometimes comes from the most unexpected places—and that it's never too late to start again.
