What is Lean Canvas?
Lean Canvas is a variation of the Business Model Canvas adapted for early-stage startups, replacing some blocks with problem, solution, and key metrics sections. It puts more focus on the problem being solved and the unfair advantage a startup has over competitors. Founders and product teams use it to sketch and test a business idea quickly before committing to a full plan.
