This document discusses using a business model canvas to develop business models. It provides an example of developing a business model to sell freezers to Inuit families in the Arctic who no longer have natural ice available due to climate change. The example discusses potential value propositions, customer segments, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key activities, key resources, key partners, and cost structure for this business model.
This document proposes a charter middle and high school that prepares students for the global creative economy. It argues that traditional college preparation is no longer sufficient given rising college costs and declining earnings for graduates. The school would develop students' global readiness, meet core academic requirements through blended learning, and nurture creative capacities. Students would learn multiple languages, spend time abroad, take online courses, and develop expertise in a self-chosen area to build a strong portfolio for college and career success.

It outlines a 10-month timeline and exit strategies like selling stakes in startups. It also discusses the demand for college admissions counseling in Central Florida as motivation for funding the proposed incubator.

Michele Amori: Sosta Mobile Semplice
1. [SMS - Sosta Mobile Semplice]
Parcheggiare a pagamento non è stato mai così veloce
2. Ne rimarrà soltanto uno
Dopo una dura lotta nel traffico, e dopo tanta pazienza...
Scorgi l’ultimo posto rimasto. [Anche se in effetti è tardi]
3. Alla ricerca del parchimetro
Marciapiedi pieni. Il sole che abbaglia. Vie poco conosciute.
Per trovarlo (a volte) ti trasformi in Indiana Jones. [E’ decisamente tardi]
4. Niente monetine?
Era troppo crudele rompere il tuo salvadanaio, que'a volta.
...ma adesso come lo paghi il parche(io? [Ora è veramente troppo tardi]
5. Corsa contro il tempo
Adesso devi anche tornare a'’auto per lasciare il ticket sul cruscotto.
Sperando che il vigile non sia già passato. [Ormai non guardi + l’orologio]
6. The final countdown
Ti sta scadendo il parche(io, ma ora non puoi uscire. E anche se potessi farlo,
non riusciresti a tornare in tempo. E gli spiccioli? [Oddio, il vigile!]
8. Rilassati!
C’è una soluzione più [semplice], più [veloce], più [comoda] e più [sicura].
Che ti permette di parche(iare, in tutto relax, in tutte le aree a pagamento.
9. Non serve avere il computer
Non hai bisogno di internet: [ti basta il tuo ce'ulare].
E non serve neanche comprarne uno nuovo: ti basterà que'o che hai già.
10. Prendi nota, ecco come fare
Trovi un’area di sosta
Parcheggi l’auto

Se lo desideri, verrai avvisato
un pò prima della scadenza,

Manderai un SMS
E riceverai la conferma via
SMS, come sempre
12. Perchè utilizzare il cellulare
Chiunque ne possiede uno
Tutti sanno spedire un SMS
Non occorre essere connessi
Puoi acquistare ovunque sei
Il pagamento è immediato
Il prezzo viene scalato dal
credito della propria SIM
13. E per chi controlla i permessi?
[Smartphone]
Prenderà lo smartphone
Si collegherà alla webapp
Inserirà la targa del veicolo
Leggerà l’ora e il giorno di
scadenza del parcheggio
14. 5 problemi risolti in un colpo
[Non devi più]
cercare il parchimetro
avere spiccioli con te
tornare in auto per il ticket
avere paura della scadenza
ripetere tutto quanto per
prolungare la sosta
