Our new Business Canvas


Remember our Business Canvas? It feels like we were working on this so long ago! Term 4 flew by and now we're almost done with The Entrepreneurial Lab. But time didn't pass without leaving valuable learnings for us. 
After all our classes and the invaluable experience of the MBJ competition in London, we found ourselves revisiting our model. We needed more focus and address some issues with the original model to have a strong version of Beep Beep Parking for Web Summit.

Et Voila! Our new Business Model Canvas:


We'll leave the details for our final presentation, but we'll mention some of the main changes:

Value Proposition: we added safety as a part of our value proposition as a consecuence of moving the beep beep model to a transaction based business model were the customers rent privately owned parking spots.

Customers: We redefined our customer, searching for a focused vision of the person who will use our app.

Come to the final class to learn all details of our new Business Model Canvas!

Beep Beep goes to Web Summit!






The extended Beep Beep team participated in the 2015 Web Summit held in Dublin, Ireland. We were there for 5 wonderfull days, where we learned about coming trends in technology, start ups and more!
In 4 years, Web Summit has grown from 400 attendees to over 22,000 from more than 110 countries. It’s been called “the best technology conference on the planet”. Its the place were Fortune 500 companies and the world’s most exciting startups meet.











The first day we had our own booth, were we spent most of our day talking to other entrepreneurs. Some of them had ideas similar to us, some of them had ideas that are complimentary to ours, which would make them excellent future partners! We met a couple of investors that were interested in our ideas and we even met our competition, an Amsterdam based parking app called ParkingYou. All in all, the first day was great. We met many other entrepreneurs who shared ideas and advice with us, helping us get more motivated to further push Beep Beep.





The rest of the Summit was exciting as well. We experienced technology advances like 3D printing and Virtual Reality first hand, we attended talks of relevant and inspiring people who shared their own success stories and advice about their own endeavours, we experienced the buzz of the entrepreneur culture and we discovered the impact that start ups and entrepreneurs are having in our society.

It was a great experience that we higly recomend to everyone, entrepreneur or not!
