Researching your Business Model Canvas

Session Description

Working on a business idea? The Business Model Canvas is an alternative to a long, wordy business plan used by startups around the world. It’s a great way to summarize all the key elements of your product or service in a single page. It’s also a great tool to make sense of exactly what information you will need for your business planning – and how to find it at the library.

In this session, you will:

• Understand which free and proprietary library databases are the best fit for your canvas
• Develop search strategies that will save you time and eliminate frustration, and
• Get market, industry, or competitor information you can use for your startup or small business venture

When: Wednesday, November 10, 2021, 12 – 2 p.m.
Location: Online via Zoom (registrants will receive a link prior to the session start)
Instructor: Carey Toane, Entrepreneurship Librarian, Gerstein Science Information Centre (carey.toane@utoronto.ca)
