Why do I need a one-page overview of my business/product idea?
Most business owners focus on specific parts of their business or get bogged down in the day-to-day running and lose sight of the bigger picture.
Many start-up founders risk developing the wrong product leading to failure because they don’t stress test their idea for product/market fit, viability, and feasibility.
The Business Model Canvas gives an overall vision of your business (or product idea) so you can identify areas for improvement, make better decisions, and drive sales
How long does the Canvas Creation Process take?
If working through the materials within a workshop, filling in the 9 building blocks will need approximately:
~90 mins for Customers, your Offering, and Revenue
~30 mins for Infrastructure and Costs
