CLEVELAND -- Most kids spend a good bit of time in high school reading books, but 17-year-old Neil Tewari just wrote one. 

  • Neil Tewari, 17 is an entrepreneur and author
  • Book available on Amazon
  • Started Fran4me.com to help others use technology

The Northeast Ohio resident said the goal of his recently launched LLC and accompanying website is to leverage technology so everyone, not just the resourceful, can make solid business decisions. 

Available through Amazon, "The Techno Revolution: Towards an Egalitarian and Entrepreneurial Society" looks at how technology will help reshape society. 

“It wasn’t like, I want to write a book on this field, let’s go start the research," the Hawken Upper School senior explained. "It was more like I had a lot of great experiences looking at this stuff, and I just wanted to get my word out there.” 

Tewari has been hooked on the field of technology since he began dabbling in computer programming around age 12. He developed his first app around the same age. 

The book is just another item on on his lengthy list of accomplishments, which also includes founding his school’s entrepreneurship club, leading the tennis team, and creating a startup, all while focusing on helping others. 

“He’s thinking more about how something can benefit others, and the success of his companies is secondary to him," his father Prashant Tewari said.  

The Northeast Ohio resident said the goal of his recently launched LLC and accompanying website is to leverage technology so everyone, not just the resourceful, can make solid business decisions. 

“I run a website called Fran4Me.com, where it connects people who are experts in franchises and know how to run franchises, with people who have questions and inquiries in regards to which small businesses to start," he said. 

Even with a stacked schedule, the National Merit Semifinalist said he doesn't lose sight of what keeps him going and how to enjoy being a teen.

"I really enjoy talking to people, helping them out, and whatever I can, and then, you know, playing football with my friends on the side," he laughed.
