Built by the Creator of Lean Canvas

LEANSpark combines 15+ years of startup methodology expertise with AI to help founders validate ideas faster.

Hi, I’m Ash Maurya

I’m the author of Running Lean and Scaling Lean, and the creator of Lean Canvas—a one-page business model format used by over a million entrepreneurs worldwide.

For the past 15 years, I’ve been obsessed with one question: How do you systematically de-risk a startup?

I’ve taught the Continuous Innovation framework to thousands of founders, coaches, and accelerators. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. I’ve watched founders waste months building the wrong thing, and I’ve watched others validate ideas in weeks.

The difference isn’t intelligence or luck. It’s systematic validation.

Why I Built LEANSpark

The Problem

Founders know they should validate before building. But validation is hard. It requires discipline, methodology, and consistent execution. Most founders try a framework, get stuck, and abandon it.

Generic AI tools don’t help. ChatGPT gives different advice every session. It doesn’t remember your business model. It optimizes for sounding helpful, not for systematic validation.

The Solution

LEANSpark is an AI co-founder that knows the Continuous Innovation framework deeply. It doesn’t just advise—it executes structured processes.

Load your canvas. Run a 7-dimension assessment. Design experiments. Track results. Make data-driven decisions. All with persistent context that gets smarter about YOUR business over time.

The Proof

I used LEANSpark to validate LEANSpark. Built in public through 6 "Over-the-Shoulder" episodes on YouTube. Same stress-testing. Same 90-day cycles. Same methodology.

Result: 0 to 307 customers. $115K revenue. Product roadmap clarified through systematic validation.
