Hello everyone, I ‘m happy to be here
because today I can tell you one
history to prove something to me
it is very much to heart
for me all young people should know
what does entrepreneurship mean and for?
all young people must make their own
this word here because a word
very important start with telling you
a little my story
so we will understand together why the why
of this thought
I had my first experience
entrepreneurial team management if
so we can call him when I was
7 years I went to school I did not like it
so I decided to go back home
and convince my grandmothers my aunts a
participate in this organization that
I wanted to put on that the homework was done
for home for me
basically I was coming back from school
I had already organized everything I was going
of my organization, I said, look
here are the tasks please i
take place by afternoon is clear
however , please insert errors
because the professors or the teachers then
I was the elementary school could
realize that something is wrong
and that was how he went for a few months
forward then my mother find out what
you’re doing
ok sorry i went on i tried to
to study but it was not my forte either
however I did not like it arrived at
superiors decided to go to the
scientific to follow my companions
because I wanted to stay with them I had
my comfort zones as they say
incoming high school to high school science
the second year I make myself fail
I get rejected because I did not like it
the environment too serious then me
I move to the industrial where it started
to study computer science and there I understood that
it could probably be mine
road probably attention because
then we will understand why I study
I like computer science too
something outside the program
start programming android
then they had just left the
android platforms and then start to
program android made some small
application begins to totalize one
po download to the point that is le
My ups in a month or so totaled
about 50,000 downloads
ap of a very high level of stupidity
among other things, what I did each
day was staying ahead
the play store and understand which one he could
be the need that at that time
users could have and went out
several app the most important
it was probably called youtube
downloader because I realized it was there
this necessity
already from the name you understand what it does
the then public application youtube
downloaders in the stores and two
weeks total one and a half million
of downloads I am 19 years old I had
created the most downloaded app in the world
I participate in an international contest of
a great multinational and I win in the
last two weeks of this contest
100,000 dollars
I will not let you imagine mine
happiness
at 19, being the first in the world
earn lots of money a day and in
more
win a huge prize
multinational of 100 thousand dollars for me
it was the best for me and for the newspapers
that will begin to talk a lot about
this is the national media ed
internationals talked so much about
youtube downloader is of this of
this genius of the web the genius of the app
I come from a village of 7 thousand
inhabitants called valguarnera
caropepe and sicilia
amy named as di steve jobs
carrapipi why so what is called the
country I let myself imagine my friends
he teased him but they were leaving for me
it was really the maximum because everyone
they wanted to know about me
from eight in the morning to ten in the evening
incessantly the phone rang
my mother answered, I answered
I did a lot of radio interviews
televisions at some point though
something starts going wrong
blog began to raise doubts
about the legality of this
application
but sorry you can download from youtube but
maybe yes or maybe not and then there in
he begins to be afraid because maybe
imprudence, no being too small
they had led me not to reflect
as a result of the blogs we passed the big ones
newspapers of the radios and the televisions
the fear grew I was desperate
it happens that one day I earned
through the banners inserted in the
free applications
these gains were very high and one
day they cut me all the earnings for
let you understand with that gain I would have
I could buy a medium car
level
I had earned him in a week and
in a week they cut them off
I was so desperate I did not know
what to do
the first thing that I thought and nothing else is
fed up I do not want to know anymore I’m afraid
I want to stop being so scared
I remove lat
and so I went to the doctor mom dad
look I’m afraid I can not do it
the more I want to remove the application from
web from the stores
my parents told me if you look
you’re happy so foul was the second
once I was very imprudent
I with my parents very unwise
because from there it began to speak
much more than the story in a way
very negative so imagine me and the
my story that we start from here
we dominated the world and after two weeks
we dominated hell if we can
say I did not know what to do anymore
I studied more because he then enrolled me
university or rather I wanted the
sorry for not studying anymore
I did not want to know more about my friends
because I was afraid that my friends
they could ask me about the story
the only people I frequented were
my parents and my girlfriend who
they were the only people who could
tell me if you’re not hungry and drink it
chamomile at least put something in the
stomach
from there at a certain point one arrives
even worse news
This multinational writes me, he tells me
congratulations you won the prize for us
your bank details that we send to you
100,000 dollars
I was ecstatic for me it was
fear is completely erased
pity, however, that after two minutes arrives
another email that says ignore everything
what we told you destroyed of
new
then you understand them the dream had vanished
because after a few weeks I get there
a final email that told me look at us
sorry but we can not give you the prize
because the ato actually goes against i
terms of the youtube platform
from the beginning a path really
hard at only 19 years is not much
easy to face such stories
and I can assure you that then for one
year my life has been enough
I did not use mobile phones anymore
imagine I did not open the computer the
laptop I could not open it I had
afraid to enter and surf on google e
find my name find someone who
talk about my story
at one point my sister who in between
the other is a psychologist and not bad
he decides to lock me in a room
bring a bundle of sheets like that
they were articles that talked about me all
underlined tells me you look at laws of
you do not get out of here if you do not have it before
finished I do not want to know look
forget it
no you have to read them forced me
he forced because he was there for the first time
time the articles did not speak
badly of me personally as a person
as young as nineteen years old
he had created something incredible but
they were talking badly about all of them
situation when it was strange
all this and then there is enough
I put a point I began to understand that
I had to learn to keep learning
I decided to attend environments like
incubators as accelerators where there
I could learn because it was just this
I wanted you I knew start up I knew
young entrepreneurs boys me
they told their stories to me
embarrassed every time I did
embarrassed I understood that I was
learning
after two years of total embarrassment arrives
a small vocation I wanted to bring
what I had learned and mine
experience of total failure in the
my school where I had grown up and
where I had learned to program
they organize this event a two
days the first day the boys
they had to understand what idea meant
start up and pitch a trivial
presentation to be presented to
investors to take some money and the
next day they had to try one
competition to express yourself
what does this mean the boys
they had to pull out an idea to put up
a team and work on the presentation from
present to judges to win a
prize
it was supposed to be only one event
pity however or perhaps fortunately that
the event had an incredible success in
Italy because it was considered the first
all- education experiment
juvenile entrepreneurship never
occurred in Italy
I was called from republic to an event
to talk about this story he was named
one of the twenty young innovators
Italians then there I understood that
probably the impact it created
this thing that is called start up super
school had to be brought forward
it had to be cultivated
I organized myself acquainted with the faeces
a team and in February 2016
let’s start up super school
officially in a year we have
involved more than two thousand students from 16
at the age of 25, then schools and universities
we managed to tighten some
synergies with the ministry
of education with the commission
European here are the united nations and now
moreover
we are also going abroad we are
going to croatia we are going in
africa in mexico but the thing that me
like it better when I tell about this
story when story of super start up
school is what is inside us
let’s go to the schools we teach i
boys to be not entrepreneurs
we do not want the 16 year old boy
at the head of a company
we want you to think like one
entrepreneur who is very different
we want him to speak his word
responsibility
we want you to embarrass yourself in front of
who can teach something I think that
the culture of entrepreneurship today
is one of the most important keys
especially among young people because
they can succeed in understanding that the
failure and having to embarrass
in front of those who have done so much and who they are
embarrassed a lot and continue to
to be embarrassed is all thanks
[Applause]
