创业：有什么十分精妙的初创公司的商业模式

What are some startups with really unique business models?Manuel Frigerio, Co-Founder CampusBoard.ioWritten Aug 28, 2014Personally I really like Duolinguo's business model.I think it's just ingenious.If you don't know Duolinguo, it's an online platform that helps people learning new languages.It takes a very straightforward approach: you learn a language as a kid plays a game. You earn points, have challenges, compete with your friends. Despite his basic approach, it has proven itself to be a very effective way (@How effective is Duolingo in learning a language?) to learn languages.And, oh, it's free.So, how does Duolinguo make money?Well, it turns out that Duolinguo is so good that you can actually "merge" (using an algorithm) basic translations from first-time learner and create a complete and almost-perfect translation Check this video out for more infoSounds magical, doesn't it?Duolinguo takes thousands of translations, merges them and creates human-like translations.And, well... You guess that.Then it sells the translations to whoever needs them ;)So you get high effective lessons for free, Duolinguo makes money without charging its users and customers pay much less for same quality translations.I repeat my self: it's just ingenious.PS: I don't work for Duolinguo, I just love what they do!
