About Us

Since 1999, TeenBusiness.com has been the only news and information portal for young entrepreneurs.

The specific goals of this website are to:

  • Expose teens to entrepreneurship and other young people starting their own businesses and/or exploring their passions;

  • Explore the world of teen inventors and their motivations; and

  • Help educators expose their students to basic economic and business concepts.

The idea for TeenBusiness.com is from Emmanuel Modu and Andrea Walker -- co-authors of three books about young investors and entrepreneurs: Mad Cash: A First Timer's Guide to Investing $30 to $3,000 (Penguin/Perigee); TeenVestor: The Practical Investment Guide for Teens and Their Parents (Penguin/Perigee); and The Lemonade Stand: A Guide To Encouraging The Entrepreneur In Your Child (Gateway Publishers).

They have appeared on many television programs on CNBC and CNN Money, and in many publications such as The New York Daily News, The Wall Street, Journal, Forbes, Morningstar.com, Money, BusinessWeek Online, and many other media outlets that appreciate their perspective on encouraging young investors and young entrepreneurs. Please see the following link for more information on their media appearances.

Emmanuel Modu attended University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School after receiving his undergraduate degree from Princeton University.

Andrea Walker is graduate of Princeton University, the George Washington School of Law, and Seton Hall Law school where she received her Master’s in Law.
