Can we suggest material here?
ReplyDeleteYes, please, I've been meaning to get back around to editing/updating these. If you suggest them I'll take a look and add them.
DeleteThanks for all the effort. What can we do if we don't have access to the recommended books? I mean due to copyright issues!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the list.
ReplyDeleteVery useful links.
Thank you very much, it's really nice to see you're sharing the knowledge

that seems like the business canvas but let you create, explore and share business models online. And is free.
There is a very good tool for doing brainstorming online and could be really useful for the first task and probably for the next ones.

Hello, we've just launched a realtime brainstorming platform called Stormz https://stormz.me
ReplyDeletethat enables remote startup teams to brainstorm together. For exemple, it could be used to help idea generation and selection steps of the business model canvas methodology. If you try it, I'd love to hear your feedback.
