What is the purpose of a business model canvas?
The business model canvas or BMC is a visual template used to describe and organize the high-level strategic details needed to get a business or product onto the market. Designed by the economic theorist Alexander Osterwalder and the computer scientist Yves Pigneur in 2005, the template comes in the form of an intuitive one-page business plan summary consisting of the 9 key building blocks.
