What is the lean canvas template?

The lean startup canvas, inspired by the Lean Startup movement, was originally created by LEANSTACK to generate simple and sleek representations of business operations. Before launching a product, use this version of the business model canvas template to present your startup’s unique solutions and market competitiveness to key partners.

How do you make a concise lean canvas?

The lean business plan is divided into 9 compact cells that pose critical questions to assist you in developing a real business case for your grand vision.

  • Identify 3 real pain points.
  • Research existing alternatives.
  • Present your solution as a solution.
  • Define your key metrics.
  • Create a clear and compelling unique value proposition.
  • Uncover your differentiating factor.
  • Identify your target customer.
  • Define the key channels you’ll reach these customers on.
  • Outline your cost structure.
  • Present a path for revenue streams.

Xtensio is a huge timesaver for me! I can focus on the important things; what to communicate in documents and presentations, not how to make them attractive.

Creating beautiful client-facing documents has never been easier. Definitely better than your standard agency deck or PPT presentation.
