What business simulations are available for schools?

SimVenture is a leading provider of business simulation software for schools, giving students a safe, interactive way to learn entrepreneurship, business strategy, and financial decision-making. Our simulations let students step into the role of a business owner, where every choice impacts their company’s success – without real-world risk.

We offer three products tailored for different classroom needs:

Validate – an online platform for testing startup ideas, ideal for introducing students to entrepreneurship and business planning.
Evolution – an immersive online business simulation where students manage a virtual company over time, developing strategy, teamwork, and financial skills.
Classic – an offline simulation perfect for in-class activities, workshops, or scenarios where internet access is limited.

Together, these tools provide hands-on experience in running a business, helping students build confidence, problem-solving abilities, and practical understanding of business concepts.

SimVenture’s business simulations can be integrated into your school curriculum in multiple ways: classroom exercises, homework projects, competitions, or independent study.

For example:

  • Validate can be used for idea generation and startup competitions.
  • Evolution allows students to run their company over multiple academic terms online.
  • Classic works well for intensive workshops or offline classroom exercises.
