Description
Build better Business Models.
The Business Model Toolbox combines the speed of a napkin sketch with the smarts of a spreadsheet. It enables you to map, test, and iterate your business ideas – fast.
With the Business Model Toolbox you will be able to:
- Sketch your business model using the practical methodology from the best-selling book, Business Model Generation.
- Add ballpark figures for market size, revenue streams, and costs - faster than any spreadsheet.
- Test the profitability of your ideas with a quick report and breakdowns by offer, customer segments, and costs.
The app is based on the Business Model Canvas, a widely practiced visual template pre-formatted with the nine blocks of a business model (customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partners, cost structure).
The Business Model Toolbox is brought to you by the makers of Business Model Generation, which was selected as one of the “Best Business Books for Business Owners 2010” by Fast Company magazine. The app was developed in collaboration with Hortis le studio and alpha tested by a team of 90 business model practitioners who approved this release! Designed by Alan Smith and Alex Osterwalder at the Business Model Foundry.
Join the 100,000+ business model innovators including entrepreneurs, consultants, CxOs, coaches, and small business owners who are already using the Canvas to innovate their business.
Business Model Toolbox comes stocked with:
- 12 Revenue & cost formulas.
- Reference with definitions, examples, and trigger questions about the 9 building blocks.
- Export to JPG to include in your presentations.
- Export to CSV to refine your figures.
- Learning centre connecting to up-to-date help videos.
- Report view, with re-sortable costs and revenues to identify distribution of funds across offer, costs, and customer.
The stunning visual design and the virtual sticky notes will make it easy to abandon outmoded thinking and explore new, innovative models of value creation. It will give you the big picture of your ideas and allow you to stress test them before making costly mistakes in the real world.
Whether you're working to improve an existing business model, or to invent a new one, the toolbox will help you:
- Get a better understanding of your business.
- Draw a completely visual overview of your business model.
- Play with 12 predefined revenue and cost mechanisms.
- Test your business model based on market size, pricing, and cost assumptions.
- Collaboratively map out your business model by projecting it on a screen.
- Make mistakes here, save money in the real world.
- Create a solid basis for your business plan.
- Share your ideas using JPG's or CSV files.
For the price of a business lunch, you could be inventing or improving your business model.
This app gives visionaries, game changers, and challengers everything they need to turn business ideas into a tangible business model.
Join us, and welcome to the Business Model Generation.
What's New in Version 1.1
Working with our Alpha team of testers and your feedback, we've greatly improved the Revenue and Cost estimator interface to a fullscreen experience. It is now much easier to experiment with different figures, without fear of losing your old numbers. The feedback you shared on our "Drawing Board" forum was so valuable we built a channel for your insights and requests right into the Toolbox. Technical improvements were also made so the Toolbox supports iOS multitasking and was adapted to iOS SDK 5.
- Improvement of the revenue and cost estimator interface
- Ability to cancel unsatisfying revenue or cost estimations and return to previous state
- Feedback possibility through UserVoice
- Support of iOS multitasking
- Support of iOS SDK 5

Where are the updates?
It takes forever to get updates with this app. Since the launch, it has been updated twice. Oh! And there is a forum, where all suggestions end up in one big whole. Developer has to get his agile dev process in order. We need updates! it's a great concept and i should have waited for version 1.5 before purchasing this app. :(
The right app at the right time
I'm very critical of my venture creation class. I've been to the startup weekends and other business starting events and this app is the way to start building a strategy/plan to test the feasibility of a venture. I showed my professor and explained it. He told me a week later that he purchased it and shared with the dean of the school of business as the future. Be lean, accurate and decisive - buy the app!
Generally good
I use this app for scenario modeling. It's generally good. Need a way to export the information captured in notes and much more robust financial modeling capability to stand alone.
