Idea Canvas

Turn an idea into a one-page plan: the problem, who has it, your solution, how you reach people and how it pays for itself.

How it works

Give your idea a name.
Fill the boxes in any order. Each box has a hint, and the grey text is an example to inspire you.
Keep it short: a few lines per box is enough. Empty boxes show what you still need to find out.
Print it on one page, save it as PDF, or copy it as text to share it, or to submit your idea to IdeaNexo.
