The start -up screen

The start -up screen

The startup canvas is designed in such a way that you outline initial ideas for a business idea. It is also known as a one-sided business plan template for startups

According to Upmetrics, there is a certain restriction when writing a business plan, most people hate writing business plans. You take too long to write. In the end, they grasp the most answers. And the worst thing is that the people who make you write these plans (i.e. investors) do not even take the time to read them for shorter versions such as the 1-page summary of the executive, the 10-page grinding deck or the 30-second lift group.

The startup canvas solves this problem. It is a quick and easy way to write a business plan. It is a framework to define your startup easier and faster through value, problem, solution, market, team, marketing channels, customer segment, external risks and important performance indicators.

1. Problem

For the customer segment, you work with the top 1-3 problems that you need to be solved.

2. Value promise

This is the most important section of your start model. The unique promise of value is a single, clear, convincing message that says why they are different and are worth buying.

Turnover depends on your price strategy. Describe sources of income with a Breakeven point.
