This is discussed heavily in the Running Lean book, Ash Maurya the author feels this canvas is more appropriate for Lean Startup vs traditional businesses.

Go Lean

Just wanted some free Lean Startup Tools (free for limited users/usage)

Kanban – leankitkanban.com – limiting capacity planning tools

Funny I think I saw a post from Meebo about how Kanban was helping their Dev team today.

Business Model Canvas – bmstack.com – method of defining what your Business Model is without a full business plan. Great if you are shifting that frequently not having the extra overhead of doing a full plan rewrite with every shift.

Rochester Tech Startup Meetup – March 2012

The meetup organized by Terran and Lail is a great thing for Rochester area startups and those hoping to be one. We had the opportunity to participate in “Quick Pitch Night”. This was our first pitch. Melissa and I presented jointly which worked out pretty well. We received really positive and constructive feedback on the presentation and the Flower City Families project. It was a great thrill and thank you to all that attended for the feedback, even more for those that took the time after the event to share more detailed thoughts and discussion. We look forward to participating in more  events soon.
