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