What it is

SimVenture offers business learning simulations and tools for developing business ideas. Its products are Classic, Evolution, and Validate. Participants in its simulations run a virtual company and make decisions across strategy, marketing, finance, operations, and team management. Evolution is an online simulation in which learners start, manage, and grow a business through quarterly decisions in sales and marketing, finance, operations, research and development, and organization. Educators can use its Control Tower to set up activities and scenarios and review learner progress with reports and leaderboards. Validate guides individuals and teams through developing business ideas, completing a sustainability-focused Business Model Canvas, testing assumptions, and sharing a visual portfolio by URL or PDF. Evolution runs in a browser on PCs, Macs, and tablets without installation, but does not support Internet Explorer and is not smartphone-friendly. Evolution and Validate support Microsoft Entra ID sign-in. SimVenture serves education providers, corporate learning teams, entrepreneurs, and startups. An Evolution Personal License costs £50 a year for single-user personal use and includes 12 months of remote maintenance and technical support. Other listed Evolution plans are priced by quote or estimate.
