GEN San Francisco II Katie Gorick

Matthew Kim and Scarlet Love finish their humble Kickstarter campaign with two unexpected supporters. Perhaps the rest of the world will laugh at their business scale. Perhaps their classmates will quickly raise millions from highly-networked investors. Unfazed by deterrents, Scarlet and Matthew continue pushing to apply their 3D-printing and bio-material ideas to their new venture: GEN SF. One night, Matthew walks into a seemingly ordinary restaurant, but finds an extraordinary dining experience with Scarlet instead. Everything is cooked and presented perfectly, while their conversation flows effortlessly, like a sweet dream. Mathew has an overwhelming feeling throughout the whole evening. His heart swells with a mixture of excitement and fear that wraps his evening with uncontrollable joy. True to their passion, Matthew and Scarlet invest a heavy load of hours into their venture, which many professional investors briefly scan for their financial gains. During a Las Vegas trip, Matthew and Scarlet manage to grab the brief attention of a savvy angel investor named Mary Chin. But the biggest surprise for their success is yet to come, not from investors, but from their beloved city-San Francisco. This two-book series celebrates "Gen San Francisco," the emerging American generation, which is not only talented and independent, but also respectful and open-minded to those different from themselves-are you ready to embrace Gen San Francisco?
