a free online tool to help social entrepreneurs formalize their social ideas and structure a fully developed business model.
Are you seeking to make the world a better place? Not knowing how to turn an idea into a business model should never be the reason a project fails. This is why My Social Business Model (MySBM) was created. MySBM is a free online tool with a set of questions, which take users through the thought process required to create a successful business model. It takes an educational and collaborative approach to building business models for social projects.
Give your project a solid framework to make your social project a real success!
Your MySBM business model is structured around a visual canvas. This canvas is developed around the following 8 sections:
- Social challenge
