I and the angel investor were quite impressed by all six students' presentations but two really stood out. One student developed a plan for an online fitness and nutrition coaching program for teens. The program would include one-on-one virtual coaching and a community forum for members to support each other. The other plan that stood out was for a blended online and in-person tutoring program for K-12 students.
I was asked on Twitter which resources the students used to acquire ideas and background knowledge while assembling their business models. In no particular order here are the resources that I directed them to (the students also found others on their own).
Excerpts from Guy Kawasaki's The Art of the Start
Excerpts from Chris Guillebeau's 279 Days to Overnight Success.
We looked at the Common Craft business model and listened to part of this podcast with Lee Lefever.
Students also read some of Chris Brogan's blog posts about Kitchen Table Companies.
