This reminds me of jedc and his MBA research about startup accelerators and how, and more importantly, when to clone.

Imagine K12 is unique in their knowledge and connections. What a fascinating proposition.

Thanks, Peter. This is exactly the kind of program that I was talking about. I hope their connections to schools are able to turn startups in this market into businesses with real impact quickly.
