Business Model

What is a business model?

A business model is a view into the structure and strategy of a business. 

You can organize the information of your business model on a presentation software like Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint.

A business model is a view into the inside of your business. It is designed so that you, the entrepreneur, can easily pitch your business information to others (e.g. investors).
