What’s wrong with my canvas?

The Business Model Canvas is solution-driven (value proposition) rather than market pain-centric. It assumes that the stated Value Proposition IS the desired solution resolving the pain of the stated targeted customer.

​

But what if the solution built around it is wrong?

​

​

​

Wrong start – wrong end

25 of 36

What’s wrong with my canvas?

Founders can identify the problem and opportunity but end up planning too big for Minimum Viable Product (MVP) standards

​

Is your canvas trying to depict an intergalactic implementation?

​

​

​

Solving Bigger Problems

26 of 36

What’s wrong with my canvas?

The canvas design omits the

Measure – Learn – Elimination

aspect. It Is more a snapshot type of a tool

​

What if you fail on accounting for… fails?

​

​

​

Learning from Mistakes? Nope

27 of 36

What’s wrong with my canvas?

Most of the times startup teams/companies fail to recognize the BMC process of analysing to determine needs in each category.

In that token they treat the canvas as a check list

Have you investing in adequate research and enough time + brainpower?

​

​

​

It’s not a shopping list

28 of 36

What’s wrong with my canvas?

It’s hard to have the right balance in the depicted info. It’s better though, to start with enough detail in the beginning and later refine by using less words

It’s always better to slash and burn what you don’t need instead of assuming a lot from the get-go.

​

​

Too simple vs too detailed

29 of 36

you need to validate your model assumptions with the customers until you get it right!

How to validate?

There are three clever ways to validate these assumptions and to talk directly to customers:

​

  • Conduct market research.
  • Talk to customers about the pain points and demonstrate how your solution works (create a Minimum Viable Product for this).
  • Receive feedback and use it as validation through queries, interviews and surveys (use survey sites, landing pages, and cold calling).
