Lean Canvas Model
Lean Canvas Model
This lean canvas streamlines the original business model canvas to adapt for early sage entrepreneurs.
The Lean Canvas is divided into eight sections:
1. Problem to Solve
What problem are you trying to solve for customers?
What specifically frustrates people about this issue?
2. People with the Problem
Who has this problem?
Who are the people who would pay for a way to fix it?
What makes them especially susceptible to this problem?
What would stop these people from using your solution?
3. Current Solution(s)
How are people dealing with this problem now?
Are they just ignoring it, thinking it cant be solved?
What are some other ways of approaching the problem?
Whats wrong with the current solutions, that make it not ideal?
What makes your solution better?
What details have you noticed about the solutions or the people using them?
4. Channels
How would the people in #2 access your solution?
Where do those people already shop, spend time, have the problem?
5. Need to Succeed
What do you need in order to provide your solution, in terms of time, materials, talents, resources?
What do you already have access to?
What are some creative ways to get access to the others?
6. Unfair Advantage(s)/ Unique Value Proposition
How is your solution an improvement over others?
What makes your solution a must-have for the relevant audience?
How will you help potential customers easily adopt your solution?
Whats your secret sauce?
7. Revenue Streams
How will you make money from this solution?
What other ways can you package or sell access to your solution?
Could you simplify your solution to be able to sell it more quickly?
Can you adapt your solution for different audiences?
8. Cost Structure
What costs will you have to provide the solution?
How will you charge customers?
Dont forget about maintenance & upkeep, not just initial set-up costs.
