As a serial “Grandmapreneur®”, Inukai speaks to retirees or soon-to-be retirees on the benefits of pursuing entrepreneurship in retirement.

Retired from teaching Technical Writing at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University for four decades, Connie Inukai became an award-winning inventor at the age of 68. For people who like to eat out in restaurants, but have difficulty reading the small print on a menu or bill, she invented a handheld magnifier and light, with a calculating device to figure out a tip and split the bill in seconds. Thus, the name Tip ‘n Split®!

Book Reviews

James K.

This book by Connie is incredible. As a fellow retiree, I understood the anxiety that accompanied retirement. However, this book provides more information on how to embrace entrepreneurship as a retiree in order to become financially independent and free. Worth reading in full.

Definitely worth reading. Connie never lets you down. Reading about people who have had success in their second-act businesses in this book has had a particularly positive impact on me. The book indeed charged me to take a step towards being a successful entrepreneur as well. Thanks.

I want to express my gratitude to Connie for writing this fantastic book. I was really moved by it because the book speaks to me personally as a retiree. It's never too late for me to accomplish my goals and become a prosperous entrepreneur. It's a book that comes highly recommended.
