What is a Lean Canvas?

The Lean Canvas is a 1-page business model template that helps you deconstruct your idea into its key assumptions. Adapted from the Business Model Canvas by Ash Maurya, it replaces long, complex business plans with a single, actionable document that focuses on problems, solutions, and key metrics. It is the gold standard for startups and entrepreneurs in the "search" phase of their business.

The 9 Blocks of the Lean Canvas

1. Problem

List the top 3 problems your target customers face. If you don't solve a real problem, you don't have a business.

2. Solution

Outline the minimum viable product (MVP) that could solve these problems.

3. Unique Value Proposition

The single most important block. Why are you different and why should anyone care?

How to Use Your Lean Canvas

Don't treat your canvas as a static document. Use it to validate your assumptions. As you talk to customers and test your MVP, come back and update the blocks. The goal is to move from a canvas full of "guesses" to a canvas backed by real-world data.
