I'm building a business model canvas

I've built a business model canvas webapp recently and is only a few days away from the beta deploy. To be honest it's not properly validated.

I've talked to a couple of people, all interested in it and all but it doesn't feel right.

How does it look like?
Imagine Trello/Asana/Clickup boards but optimized to support business model canvas flows. It seems like a good base to build upon, but...

  • Is there a real need for a business model canvas software?
  • Can it become a sustainable business?
  • Who are the the potential customers?
  • How is this better than downloading templates from the web?

What is your feedback so far?
The highest interest that I've seen was with the product devs/ppl. Some suggested it could be a great tool for presentations, others said I could connect it to the 3rd party services to create some kind of realtime feedback loops.

There's plenty of stuff I can do, but the things I'll do in the next stages should be based on real needs. How should I do this properly? I feel a bit lost, hence I'm turning to this community...

    I had a friend who built it as a part of a suite of 7 products and sold it to an education/training company. The strategy I gave him was to focus on the other 2 products. lean canvas just doesn't create enough differentiation.

    A combination with other technology/platform to help with visualization and increase usage could amplify the value for it.

    I'm happy to test out the software if you need more feedback.

      Hey, it's live, sorry to keep you waiting. Would you still be happy to test it? :) Can we do it over the Zoom/Skype/... and have a conversation about it? I posted my email to the profile to connect if you're still up for it.

    Hey! It's interesting to read this since earlier today I ran into this service: https://miro.com/app/dashboard/ It offered templates with different business canvas..
    We have previously made our canvas (Lean canvas) using templates. Honestly compared to a template, the good thing about the other service is that it can be integrated to Notion which we are currently using. So integrations (=easier edits) = plus compared to downloading templates.
    Hope that provides something to work with/ consider? :)

      Thanks for your input, it does help :) Would you be willing to test the app? If so, would you contact me over the email (on my profile) to schedule a call?
