What is the Smart Business Model Canvas?
add

The Smart Business Model Canvas goes beyond the traditional Business Model Canvas. Venturely offers a digitised version of the Business Model Canvas where innovators can use our database to complement their business model, get feedback on their business model by AI, do a first financial assessment through our cash flow calculator and have one place to keep track of the hypotheses behind your business model.  

What is the “Business Model Database”
add

Venturely has strong academic roots. Make use of our “Business Model Database” to complement your business model. Our “Business Model Database” consists of pre-made post-its around different types of business models. For example under the “Circular Economy” section in the database you can find post-its that would be typically used for business models that follow a circular economy approach. When dragging to the canvas, the green background indicates the best location on the canvas for the specific business model pattern.
