Frequently asked questions
The Lean Canvas is a one-page business model framework created by Ash Maurya from the Business Model Canvas. It captures the 9 elements that matter most for an early-stage startup: problem, customer segments, unique value proposition, solution, channels, revenue streams, cost structure, key metrics and unfair advantage.
The Lean Canvas (Maurya) is designed for early-stage startups still validating the problem: it includes blocks for problem, solution, key metrics and unfair advantage. The Business Model Canvas (Osterwalder) is broader and better suited to established companies or models in the scaling phase: it covers partners, resources and activities. Use the Lean Canvas while you are looking for your product-market fit; use the Business Model Canvas Generator once your model takes shape.
