## Reviews

### "A Complete Innovation Platform - from Strategy to Execution" — 5.0/5

> **Brandon** | *25 March 2026* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I’ve used a lot of strategy and innovation tools over the years, and Growth Forge stands out in multiple ways.
Instead of trying to spit out a polished “plan,” it actually helps you think. It pushes you to be clear about your assumptions, the choices you’re making, and what would have to be true for an idea to work. That alone is incredibly valuable - and honestly where most teams struggle.
The tools are practical and well thought out. You can move from early ideas to real experiments, while keeping track of what you’re learning along the way. I also appreciated how it handles uncertainty - through modeling and scenarios - so you’re guided to make informed bets.
What I found most useful is that it acts like a living dashboard for innovation. It connects strategy, metrics, and execution in one place, so you can actually see progress and make decisions as things evolve.
> 
> **Cons**: While the Growth Forge software suite is well organized and has an intuitive interface, the sheen number of tools can be a bit overwhelming for new users.
> 
> Ultimately, Growth Forge reinforces a critical truth: strategy is a set of choices under uncertainty that must be continuously tested and refined. If you’re serious about innovation and not just checking the box, it’s an extremely powerful toolset.

>

### "Great 1-stop business planning and business development tool" — 4.0/5

> **Michael** | *22 July 2022* | Research | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Educational aspect that enables users to learn while doing.
> 
> **Cons**: Navigating sections and understanding how they are interconnected.
> 
> Great learning experience and now an integral component of our strategic pipeline.

### "Making Innovation Practical" — 5.0/5

> **Shawn** | *14 July 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The first time I saw Growth Forge I was eager to get to work with it. Having struggled to find something that would help me to do incubation work effectively, I was enthused that the creators had put this together for use for someone like me who was not trained in business but was tasked with model incubation. I think that the way in which the materials are laid out to help guide someone through the design of a real project are better than many of the other innovation sets that have been put out before. This was the most practical tool that I have ever found to support someone who is doing product development.
> 
> **Cons**: As a new technology, it has a few bugs here and there, but I found the developers to be open to feedback and able to make immediate changes. However, these bugs were few and far between, so it's been a non-issue mostly for the completion of my work.
> 
> I think the main challenge we face is being practical with our ideas. I work in an environment where people like shiny objects. I also think that people believe innovation is magic created by one very creative person. This tool has been critical to helping people understand the real work that needs to be done in innovation, and it has been helpful on more one occasion to support arguments I'm trying to make regarding either the need to double down on an idea or to let something go.

### "Growth Forge excellent Business Innovation Product platform" — 4.0/5

> **thomas** | *30 October 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Outstanding collection and use of business tools ranging from strategic to financial modeling of the business venture.   In addition, the dashboard and "what if" capabilities allow for the user/team to model expected outcome and identification of project/product market issues that can both be tested (before major investment) and increase visibility to the project on how to strategically pivot for maximum impact.
> 
> **Cons**: A bit challenging to learn.   Requires domain knowledge for business innovation and financial modeling for optimum success.

It exposes the choices and assumptions that make or break new ventures — and gives you financial modeling tools that don't require Excel mastery or strategic finance expertise.\nBuilt on BRI Associates' decades of practitioner experience in corporate innovation and new business development (originating in Intel's New Business Incubator), Growth Forge operationalizes an integrated synthesis of leading strategy and innovation frameworks — drawing on the work of Hambrick, Christensen, Moore, Tushman, Osterwalder, IDEO, and the broader iterative methodology canon (Lean Startup, Design Thinking, Discovery-Driven Planning, Stage-Gate).\nInstead of cobbling together PowerPoint templates and Excel models, you get one integrated platform: structured guidance for hypothesis development, evaluation across desirability, feasibility, and viability, and disciplined stage-gate decisions with the four canonical outcomes — Continue, Pivot, Pause, Stop.\nDesigned for founders launching their first new venture and for innovation project leads inside larger organizations who need rigor without the overhead of enterprise tooling.\n\nThe suite of tools available include the following:\n\nStrategy &amp; Business Modeling Tools:\n- Problem Discovery Interviews\n- Value Proposition Development\n- Jobs to be Done\n- Requirement Definition\n- Value Network Definition\n- Market Fit &amp; Competitive Analysis\n- Whole Solution Definition\n- Implementation Planning\n- Company Fit Analysis\n- Simple P&amp;L Modeling\n- Market Segmentation &amp; Forecasting\n- Market Opportunity Sizing\n- Unit Economics Analysis\n- Operational Expense &amp; Cashflow Forecasting\n\nProject Management Tools:\n- Assumption Prioritization &amp; Management\n- Evidence Gathering &amp; Experiment Management\n- Strategy Summary &amp; Evaluation\n- Proposal Framing OKRs\n- Decision Management\n\nPortfolio Management Tools:\n- Business Growth Gap Analysis\n- Portfolio Modeling &amp; Analysis\n- Portfolio Dashboards","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/eb2c9327-e776-42d5-973b-815ac5cf5724.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2059276/growth-forge","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2059276/growth-forge#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":9,"ratingValue":4.7},"offers":{"price":"495","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Product Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/991/product-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Growth Forge","position":3,"item":"/software/2059276/growth-forge","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2059276/growth-forge#breadcrumblist"}]}
