How to fill out the template

  1. Customer Segments first. Everything else depends on who you serve — be narrower than feels comfortable.
  2. Value Propositions. The specific problem you solve for that segment, stated in their words.
  3. Channels & Relationships. How they find you, buy from you, and why they stay.
  4. Revenue Streams. What they’ll actually pay for, and how — before you build it.
  5. The left side. Resources, activities and partners needed to deliver — then total it in Cost Structure.
  6. Mark your assumptions. Circle the claims you haven’t verified. Those are the canvas’s real output.

Prefer not to stare at empty boxes?

The online version fills itself as you answer questions: an AI coach guides every block, auto-detects your risky assumptions, and exports a finished canvas as PDF. Free to start.
