But wait, what’s your business plan? Meet your Lean Canvas.

A Lean Canvas is a 1 page business plan that helps you deconstruct your idea into its key assumptions. Ditch the 20 page business plan.

Focus on the fundamentals, and get out in the world, testing your assumptions and big ideas. It’s the better way to #failfast, adapt and grow.
