SaaS Company Lean Canvas Template

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. It is an adaptation of the business model canvas specifically created for startups. Use it before launching a new product or brand to identify and validate 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.

The free lean canvas templates are designed to fit as a single-page download document, but you can also easily share a link or present it as a slideshow from right inside your workspace. No more jumping from tool to tool or worrying about file format size and more focus on creating impressive and focused fact sheets to move your business forward.
