Canvas the Chaos: Business Model Canvas Workshop

Build a customer-first business model, identify key risks, and leave with a clear plan to test your startup idea before you build.

Leave with clarity—not just ideas.

By the end of this workshop, you will have:

• A clearly defined customer
• A draft Business Model Canvas
• One specific, actionable next step to test your idea
