- Business Models & the Business Model Canvas — A business model describes how your company creates, delivers, and captures value.
- MVP — Building a Minimum Viable Product & Lean Startup — An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the smallest version of your idea that lets you test core assumptions with real customers.

How to study this course
- Read the lesson, then run the example in the built-in editor before moving on — reading code is not the same as writing it.
- Try the practice task at the end of each lesson. Getting it wrong and fixing it is where the learning happens.
- When you are stuck, ask the free AI Tutor to explain that specific line rather than skipping ahead.
