AIM 30 · Lean Canvas
Your Lean Canvas
One page for how your business works. It is a living document: update it any week, and FirstWave keeps a snapshot each week so mentors can see how your thinking moves. This week the two boxes marked required must be filled before the Sunday session; the rest can stay rough.
Anyone on your team can open and update the canvas. We note who saved it last.
Top 3 problems your customer has today. Existing alternatives they use.
Who exactly. Early adopters: the narrow group who feels the problem most and will try you first.
One clear sentence: why you are different and worth attention. Add a high-level concept (“X for Y”).
Top 3 features that address the top 3 problems.
Your path to customers: how they find you and how you reach them.
How you make money: price, who pays, lifetime value.
What it costs to run: fixed and variable, cost to serve one customer.
The few numbers that tell you the business is working. Your North Star.
Something that cannot easily be copied or bought.
Based on the Lean Canvas by Ash Maurya. Your canvas is visible to the FirstWave team, not to other teams.
