The Lean Canvas as your working foundation

SeedAngels studies your market and builds your Lean Canvas: nine sections from which your forecast, your Business Plan and your Pitch Deck all follow.

01 / 04

You validate our understanding at every step

We restate the problems you solve and list your competitors. You correct anything that is wrong: everything that follows depends on it.

  • Each problem restated: who suffers, from what, and how they cope today
  • Three to six real competitors, with their websites
  • Add, edit or delete freely before you validate
  • Nothing is written on top of a misunderstanding

A Lean Canvas built in five steps

Our tool runs five analyses in sequence, each building on the previous one. Two minutes later, your Lean Canvas is written.

  • Validation of your problem: tested against forums, press and communities, not against the marketing pages of companies selling a solution
  • Who your customers are: segments, ideal customer profile (ICP), and the channels to reach each one
  • Your differentiation brought to the front, after analysing what each of your competitors offers
  • A benchmark of your offer and your pricing
  • A critical read on your solution, highlighting what is easily replicable, and guidance on building a solid competitive advantage

An analysis conducted to the highest academic standards

Developed using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) method of Osterwalder & Pigneur, and jointly with a pool of investors.

  • Every foundation your funding application needs is laid
  • Full control: you can adjust, complete or validate step by step
  • All documents and sources used remain available, so you can master the whole application and defend it

Every claim carries the source it came from

Each section lists the pages it was written from. Open them, read them, make them your own: when someone challenges you, you will know what to say.

  • Within each section, every claim is documented with the sources attached to it
  • Grouped by research question: competitors, problem, customers, business model
  • You stay in control: change the data if you have more precise information to provide
  • Your own edits always take priority over our analysis

Why the sources can be trusted

A link only appears if the page was actually consulted. Those that were never opened are set aside: your bibliography gathers the pages that were used to build your project.

Questions about the method

A Lean Canvas summarises a business on a single page: the problem, the customers, the solution, how you make money, what it costs, and what makes you hard to copy. It is the shortest honest description of a business model. Starting there ensures your Business Plan and your Pitch Deck tell the same story, since both follow from it.
No. A few sentences about your idea are enough: the research is our part of the work. You will know more about your market after the canvas than before, and the sources are there so you can dig deeper wherever you wish.
Yes, everywhere. You can edit the key points of each section, and what you write takes priority over our analysis when your Business Plan and Pitch Deck are built. The canvas is a first draft that belongs to you, not a result imposed on you.
That is exactly the purpose of the validation step. Before the nine sections are written, you see how we restated your problem and which competitors we found, and you correct anything that is wrong. Correcting it there takes a minute and costs nothing.
Building your Lean Canvas is free, as is the dashboard that reports your numbers back to you. You can go through the entire process and see your analysis before deciding whether SeedAngels is worth its price.
