Help Change How Businesses Are Built: Looking for Tech Co-Founder and Senior RoR Dev

July 14, 2012 Editor 0

My aspiration is pretty simple: I want to change the way people design, test, and build strategies and businesses. Part of that journey is about bringing the best conceptual tools out there online and making them so useful, practical and attractive that no business person can resist. To achieve that my team and I are looking for an outstanding tech co-founder and a senior RoR developer. Do you want to join us?

Our track record:

When we created the Business Model Canvas we created a standard setting business concept for anyone to speak “business model”, and we worked directly with Intel, GE, Ericsson, 3M, P&G, and dozens more.

When we published “Business Model Generation” (#bmgen), we created a new breed of visual and practical business books. #bmgen sold 350,000+ copies in 26 languages since 2010.

With the Business Model Toolbox for iPad, we created the first ever tool for individuals to flesh out business ideas. The app combines the smarts of a spreadsheet with the speed of a napkin sketch.

Now, with Strategyzer (alpha version), we’ve created a beautifully designed, easy to use web-platform for teams to build better business models.

Our work culture:

Artists get inspired when they go to scenic places. This was our most recent “workation” in Splugen, Switzerland

Our customers meet us at workshops all year long around the world. Here Alex (co-founder) is onstage in Berlin.

Traditionally, we eat (and drink) a lot. This was traditional Norweigan fare, and it was delicious!
