// Lean Canvas
Lean Canvas Modeler
Sketch a one-page lean business model in Markdown, then export it as an image, JSON, or Markdown.
What is this?
A canvas is a one-page template that breaks a business idea into its key building blocks. Fill each block — you can write in Markdown and a live preview renders as you type. Your work is saved in your browser automatically; nothing is uploaded. Export the finished canvas as an image, JSON (to re-import later), or Markdown.
Lean Canvas vs. Business Model Canvas: both are one-page business templates. The Lean Canvas is more startup-oriented — it swaps in Problem, Solution, Key Metrics, and Unfair Advantage, where the Business Model Canvas uses Key Partners, Key Activities, Key Resources, and Customer Relationships.
