Findings: The study identified the eight most important characteristics of a platform business model innovation. To support the innovation and development of successful business models in a platform ecosystem, the Platform Canvas tool was created. With guiding questions, Platform Canvas allows for an ecosystemic approach to business model innovation: it helps to understand the value creation and capture for multiple actors.

Originality/Value: The unique result is a practical tool, Platform Canvas, which facilitates business model creation in platform ecosystems.
