about this ebook

We’ve all heard of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. Enter it’s startup cousin: The Happy Startup Canvas. It’s here to help a struggling startup founder go from “I’m building X” to “Here’s how X is going to change the world”.

Purpose: Based on Simon Sinek’s famous TED talk, this section helps you get clear about your why (and make sure it’s more than money)

Vision: Look at your purpose and ask yourself how the world will be different when you’re done? After you fulfill your purpose, what will the world look like?

Values: Values are more than something you put on a wall. They’re what guide your every decision. What matters to you more than profits?

Story: Humans are hardwired to love stories. What’s yours? Is it one people can connect with?

Problems: What problem is your startup going to solve? Go back to your vision and purpose and think about what problems align with those

Solution: Keep it simple, focus on learning and get ready to have all your plans destroyed

Fans: Find the people who care, like really care and learn as much as you can about them

Value Proposition: Formulate a pitch that tells your fans how your solution is going to solve their problem
