SimVenture Product Updates 2025: Evolution & Validate  

ByCilla Richards

At SimVenture, we’re excited to announce significant product updates for 2025 across our two flagship platforms: Evolution and Validate. 

These software updates are designed to enhance usability, improve accessibility, and provide an even smoother learning experience for educators and learners in entrepreneurship education. 

Here’s what’s new in 2025: 

Evolution Updates 2025 

Pathways: Guided Learning, Step by Step 

An example of a pathways activity in our online business simulation, Evolution.

The new Pathways feature in Evolution provides step-by-step guidance within activities. Learners will first see Pathways in the updated Getting Started activity and in the new Business Essentials activities. This structured approach helps users navigate the business simulation with confidence, making Evolution’s tools easier to use than ever before. 

Single Sign-On (SSO) 

    • Evolution now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via the Microsoft Entra ID system. This allows educators and users to access the platform securely and conveniently. To set up SSO for your institution, contact evolution@simventure.co.uk.  

    Note: SSO setup is available to clients, although users won’t be able to switch login options mid-way through a course. 

    AI Translation into Multiple Languages 

    Evolution now supports multiple languages thanks to a new AI-powered translation system. AI handles most of the translation work, making new translations faster and more cost-effective. This ensures accurate, context-aware translations at scale. More languages mean more users can experience Evolution in their native language. We plan to launch several new languages in the coming year, breaking down barriers to entrepreneurial learning worldwide. 

    Performance Enhancements 

    A major server update improves processing speed for multi-user data, enabling more learners to work on Evolution simultaneously without delays. 

    Validate Updates 2025 

    We’ve given the Finance section within the Business Model Canvas an overhaul to make it clearer, more flexible, and more useful: 

    • Streamlined flow: The workflow for Costs and Revenues is now combined, guiding users through decisions in a more logical sequence. They still appear as separate items on the Business Model Canvas, however the platform will seamlessly guide learners through costs, then revenues.  
    • Simplified language: The finance section has been reworded for better readability. 
    • Improved forecasting: Fixed costs can be customised month by month, and the tables automatically adjust when selecting different time periods. 
    • Integrated visuals: The familiar forecast chart is now embedded directly into the combined Costs and Revenue section. 
    • Document upload: Users can now upload up to 5 PDF or Word files (5MB each) to complement their financial forecasts. 

    These changes are designed to make financial planning on Validate more intuitive, flexible, and realistic for users. 

    Single Sign-On (SSO) 

    • Like Evolution, Validate now supports SSO via the Microsoft Entra ID system. This ensures consistent, secure access across SimVenture software. To set up SSO for your institution, contact validate@simventure.co.uk.

    Note: SSO setup is available to clients, although users won’t be able to switch login options mid-way through a course. 

    AI Translation into Multiple Languages 

    Validate now uses AI to create language translations, handling the bulk of the work automatically. This allows us to deliver accurate, context-aware translations faster and more affordably. With this system, we can offer Validate in more languages at a lower cost, making it easier for learners worldwide to use the tool with confidence. We plan to roll out several new languages in the coming year, expanding access and breaking down barriers to learning.Shape 

    Staying Updated 

    We know product updates impact planning and delivery, which is why we’re committed to keeping our community fully informed. We’ll continue sharing regular updates so that you know what’s new, what’s changing, and how it can benefit you and your learners. 

    Watch this space, as we’ll be putting in some space for drop-in sessions. In the meantime, if you have any enquiries about Evolution or Validate, contact our team for further information.
