Step 1(b): Capture your idea using the Lean Canvas in ~20 minutes

If this is your first time creating the Lean Canvas, I recommend using the 🧩 **Lean Canvas Blocks ***where you have a guide ***to help you fill each block.

The blocks are 🔗 linked *to the Lean Canvas, i.e. filling each block will **auto-*fill your Lean Canvas, and vice versa. Any block where you see a red outline [] is a “synced block”.

Click the ▶️ button to view more. The drop-down is collapsable. One such block is opened for you to view.
