Ask HN: Catalogue of business models

8 pointsadsyoung2 comments

Hey guys,

I was thinking the other day that I would love to read a book that was essentially a catalogue of all known business models (not just web startups) with examples and discussion.

I was reminded again by this post on the web startup business model wiki: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=648223

Does anyone have a recommendation along these lines?

Cheers

I just started a community wiki with the same idea but inverted; it's a catalog of known successful startups and their business models: http://bizmodels.wikidot.com/

So it starts with the examples instead of starting with the business models. Maybe a catalog as you wish could be accomplished tagging the corresponding startup wiki pages with "ad-supported", "freemium", "license software", etc., and then navigating each tag to find examples.

Feel free to modify the wiki to enter wiki pages for business models themselves.

Author of this blog has just published a book on business models:
