SimVenture is a software package that allows you to create and run a realistic virtual business, taking hundreds of decisions, supported by tutorials and advice.
For the first-time entrepreneur, it's a great way to learn about the many facets of starting a business and the competing and complex demands the business-owner faces.
These include:
Marketing strategy; Market research; Sales; Cash- flow forecasting; Risk management; Skills and training; Premises; Legal status; Time management; Product/service design; PR; Unexpected events.
Every decision you make has implications, many of which you may never have thought of. Practice makes perfect, and very few people create a profitable business first time.
SimVenture is already installed in various locations around campus for teaching and individual use, including in our incubator spaces.
EI now holds a site licence for campus. If you are an academic or system administrator, please contact us about installing SimVenture in your local space and about resources to support teaching and learning.
